Urban transformation and Indigenous-settler reconciliation
A new urbanity in a suburban region
Recent scholarship on light rail transit (LRT) connects this infrastructure to broader processes of urban transformation, bringing to the forefront its significance beyond transportation functionality. However, much of the transportation literature does not adequately explore light rail’s diverse meanings. In this article, we draw on 65 semi-structured interviews with residents living along the new LRT line in Waterloo Region, Canada, as well as …
Gentrification as (settler) colonialism? Moving beyond metaphorical linkages
Emerging discussions on the "settler colonial city" present a new agenda for gentrification research in settler colonial contexts. Accordingly, this paper examines the extent to which the gentrification literature engages with settler colonial dynamics, identifying three overarching approaches. While a small but growing body of literature frames gentrification as a contemporary mechanism of Indigenous erasure, other approaches engage with concept…
From “Big Small Town” to “Small Big City”
Most studies of transit-induced gentrification rely on statistical analysis that measures the extent to which gentrification is occurring. To extend and enhance our knowledge of its impact, we conducted sixty-five interviews with residents living along the light rail transit (LRT) corridor in Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada, shortly before the system opened. There was already strong evidence of gentrification, with more than $3 billion (Canadian…
Looking ‘for a fight rather than a cause’
Negative implications of gentrification have been continually recognized over the past several decades, prompting varied forms of resistance in cities around the world. However, gentrification has also been more recently framed in public discourse as a beneficial and constructive process, grounded in examples of ‘revitalizing’ centres. These contrasting positions introduce underexplored tensions in how different interests approach gentrifying env…
