• Gentrification is a general term for the
  arrival of wealthier people in an existing urban
  district, a related increase in rents and
  property values, and changes in the district's
  character and culture. The term is often used
  negatively, suggesting the displacement of poor
  communities by rich outsiders. But the effects of
  gentrification are complex and contradictory, and
  its real impact varies.
