Gentrification & Neighborhood change. Helpful Tools for Communities

This toolkit argues that it is possible to have development without displacement and shows how to achieve this. Published as a supplement to The socioeconomic change of Chicago’s community areas (1970–2010), the toolkit presents strategies for addressing the pressures of gentrification in a community during different phases of gentrification: before it happens, as it is happening, and after a neighbourhood has been gentrified. The resource might be good for helping to ensure that gentrification does not lead to population displacement, many of the tools and lessons could be widely applicable outside the USA. This resource can be used as a starting point for municipal collaboration with community residents, non-profit organizations, local businesses, elected officials and developers.
