Gentrification and displacement study

Iris Brodkin of the Planning Policy Lab presented her new findings to a crowd of 200 planners and urban renewal enthusiasts. The study documents and maps gentrification and displacement in Tel Aviv following a major redevelopment project. Iris has identified a few anomalies in the way in which this redevelopment affects existing landowners. As hypothesized, there are several indicators suggesting that the area has undergone gentrification, but this does not necessarily mean that existing apartment owners have been displaced by upper to middle-class residents (image credit: Planning Policy Lab).
