Global Gentrifications is a compilation of studies which interrogate the notion of gentrification, providing a new foundation for understanding urban transformations across the globe. The authors point out that most theorisations and conceptualisations of gentrification have been shaped by an Anglo-American view, with limited attempts to take into account experiences outside of these regions. Responding to this issue, the book includes various lenses to view the urban transformations outside of the 'usual suspects', discussing how gentrification is framed in particular contexts and drawing from the new literatures on comparative urbanism and policy mobilities.
