“gentrification as an ugly product of greed. Yet these perspectives miss the point. Gentrification is a byproduct of mankind 's continuing interest in advancing the notion that one group is more superior to another and worthy of capitalistic consumption with little regard to social consciousness. It is elitism of the utmost and exclusionary politics to the core. This has been a constant theme of mankind to take or deplete a space for personal gain. In other words, it 's very similar to the "great advantage" of European powers over Native Americans and westward expansion”(Wharton).
Gentrification is defined as the process by which the wealthy or upper middle class uproot poorer individuals through the renovation and rebuilding of poor neighborhoods. Many long-term residents find themselves no longer able to afford to live in an area, where the rent and property values are increasing. Gentrification is a very controversial topic, revealing both the positive and negative aspects of the process. Some of the more desirable outcomes include reduced crime rate, increased economic activity, and the building of new infrastructures. However, it is debated whether the negatives overwhelm the positive. An increase in the number of evictions of low-income families, often racial minorities can lead to a decline of diversity
Urban consolidation refers to a diverse set of policies intended to make more efficient use of the existing urbanised areas instead of developing non-urbanised land, thus limiting urban sprawl. The recent publication of the Melbourne 2030 plan indicates that Melbourne is adopting an urban consolidated direction for further development. This has raised many debates over whether it is the right plan. There are two sides to this complex argument. People in favorite suggests that urban consolidation offers a range of solutions to pressing urban problems socially and environmentally, for example it reduces car use and provide better access to facilities, whilst the other point of view argues that urban consolidation has its limits in terms of consumer preference, land capacity and could actually bring negative social and environmental impact to the city.

Gentrification brings in money and good investments into poor neighborhood, but the money and investments does not help the old residents; it only helps real estate agents. Gentrification may also make the city safer and cleaner than before but it harms old residents. The idea of gentrification is bad because prices goes up and with prices going up, people are either losing their homes or businesses or both. Gentrification affects old residents and business in a bad way, which causes the old residents to leave because of the rich taking over.
Gentrification is the keystone for the progression of the basic standards of living in urban environments. A prerequisite for the advancement of urban areas is an improvement of housing, dining, and general social services. One of the most revered and illustrious examples of gentrification in an urban setting is New York City. New York City’s gentrification projects are seen as a model for gentrification for not only America, but also the rest of the world. Gentrification in an urban setting is much more complex and has deeper ramifications than seen at face value. With changes in housing, modifications to the quality of life in the surrounding area must be considered as well. Constant lifestyle changes in a community can push out life-time
Gentrification was coined in 1964 by urban sociologist Ruth Glass (cite). She used this term to describe the demographic shift occurring in a small urban community in London, England. In more recent years gentrification can be seen occurring in different cities, especially in New York City. By analyzing the different waves of gentrification it can be seen that developers have had federal and state support to help them renew and modify neighborhoods. This brings to question whether or not gentrification is a natural process, and if urban renewal can occur without displacement.
The fancy American Dream has drawn people from all over the world to the United States to push for their upward social mobility. They have a dream and they want to make it come true. At this time Immigrants, into the major cities of the U.S, making them a melting pot. That melting pot has a different ethnic, social and cultural background, some of which contradict each other, while others are very harmonious.

According to Carnegie's Community Action project in Woodward’s Arena in 1995, there were alot of of low-income businesses, restaurants, abandoned, closed and vacant places. Due to the low-income a lot of businesses wasn’t making enough money so the restaurants were being shut down. (Doc.A) However, being in a low-income neighborhood the less fortunate had places to live and was somewhat happy. In 2012, there were still some low-income housing but majority of them were closed down. Due to majority of the low-income housing being closed the area was satisfying for the people that was more wealthy and financially stable.
Gentrification is also eroding small business in many neighbourhoods. In low-income areas, there tends to be more independent economic activity as local residents start small businesses close to where they live. At the moment, these businesses face multiple threats. Rapid demographic changes are narrowing the customer bases of neighbourhood businesses, and increased property values are making these businesses less sustainable. Stephen Fowler, the owner of the ‘Monkey’s Paw’ bookstore that recently moved from Little Portugal to Bloordale, says that his store’s rent tripled after the building was sold to a new owner. He notes that “little diner[s], or little junk store[s], those things are all getting priced out, because all of a sudden there
Gentrification is the process of renovation and revival of a deteriorated area of an urban area which causes displacement of lower-income families and business. This is rising occurrence throughout cities in the country today. One aspect of gentrification is the appearance of graffiti in urban areas, mostly on subways, trains, and walls. Graffiti is illegal throughout the country due to its vandalism. Some people even believe that graffiti creates an unsafe environment. While those people believe that graffiti is detrimental to society, others can see that graffiti comes with more positive than negative aspects. Society makes a blind judgement on graffiti before they even know what the motivation and inspiration behind graffiti and its writers
Urban Population, Megacities, and Motivation The social phenomenon of urbanization and emergence of megacities in the world’s inhabitation pattern is proved to be an effect that co-exists with human. The biggest launch of the early centuries was caused by the Industrial Revolution and in the latest years, Globalization, established a new basis to the issue. It has been observed to have had a most rapid growing rate in the 20th century due to mainly internal migration of native people from rural areas to cities, that in combination with the global growing birth rate and technology revolution has brought this effect to the proscenium of more economically developed countries and developing countries of the world. As a result of this, several “megacities” have been created with population over 10 million people.
