Gentrification vs. Revitalization

Dwana Young 2/24/217:23 PM

As we work towards healing communities, it is imperative we understand the difference between gentrification and revitalization.

Gentrification is a term that people throw around a lot, but it’s often oversimplified as neighborhood revitalization. In an enlightening talk, urban planning scholar Stacey Sutton shows us the true costs of gentrification.

Stacey Sutton teaches at Columbia University. She thinks deeply about our common misconceptions around gentrification.

This talk was given on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at TEDxNewYork. The theme was “Grand, Central.” For more information, visit http://tedxnewyork.com or follow http://twitter.com/tedxnewyork.
