Assessing green gentrification in historically disenfranchised neighborhoods
A longitudinal and spatial analysis of Barcelona
Bibliographic Data
To date, little is known about the extent to which the creation of new municipal green spaces over an entire city addresses social or racial inequalities in the distribution of environmental amenities - or whether such an agenda creates new socio-spatial inequities through processes of green gentrification. In this study, we evaluate the effects of creating 18 green spaces in socially vulnerable neighborhoods of Barcelona during the 1990s and early 2000s. Combining OLS and GWR analysis together with a spatial descriptive analysis, we examined the evolution over time of six socio-demographic gentrification indicators in the areas in proximity to green spaces in comparison with the entire district. Our results indicate that parks built in parts of the old town and in formerly industrialized neighborhoods of Barcelona seem to have experienced green gentrification trends. In contrast, most economically depressed areas and working class neighborhoods with less desirable housing stock that are more isolated from the city center gained vulnerable residents as they became greener, indicating a possible redistribution and higher concentration of vulnerable residents through the city as neighborhoods undergo processes of urban (re)development
