gentrification, social displacement, urban renewal, bibliometric analysis, urban planningAbstract
The article examines the impact of gentrification on the social fabric and urban structure of cities between 2018 and 2023. This study focuses on how neighborhood renovation can lead to the displacement of vulnerable communities, addressing a critical issue in contemporary urban planning. Through a methodological approach that combines bibliometric analysis and integrative synthesis, the dynamics of change in urban neighborhoods and their consequences for long-term residents are investigated. The article highlights the need to thoroughly understand the economic, social, and cultural dimensions of gentrification to mitigate its adverse effects and promote more inclusive development practices. By situating displacement within the context of broader urban strategies, this work seeks to offer balanced perspectives on revitalization policies and their impacts on local communities
