Abstract

While central to early gentrification studies, the idea that social and tenure changes were inseparably linked to displacement has recently fallen out of research in the field. This has led to difficulties in the context of a recent shift in the tenure trajectory associated with gentrification. While the process has historically been linked to an increase in home ownership in the UK, the situation today is marked by the return of the private rental sector, a return associated with the rise of buy-to-let investors, the loss of social housing and quickly escalating rents. Gentrification operating in the UK today must thus be thought of as private rental-led gentrification ? transitions to private rental in the context of social upscaling. This is shown through a detailed comparison of small-area social and tenure data from the 2001 and 2011 UK Censuses. While this tenure shift has been documented in gentrifying areas over the years, little is known about its impacts on local neighbourhoods. This is a dangerous blind-spot as private rental-led gentrification is more pernicious than gentrification linked to ownership: it is currently more widespread and likely to displace poorer residents, creates commodified spaces and its production dispossesses low-income owners.
英国私人租赁主导的中产阶级化:流离失所、商品化和剥夺
虽然这是早期中产阶级化研究的核心,但社会和土地使用权的变化与流离失所有着不可分割的联系,这一观点最近已经从该领域的研究中消失了。这在最近与士绅化相关的任期轨迹转变的背景下导致了困难。虽然这一过程在历史上与英国房屋所有权的增加有关,但今天的情况是以私人租赁部门的回归为标志的,这种回归与购买出租投资者的增加、社会住房的损失和租金的迅速上涨有关。因此,今天在英国进行的中产阶级化必须被认为是私人租赁主导的中产阶级化?在社会升级的背景下向私人租赁的过渡。这是通过2001年和2011年英国人口普查的小区域社会和使用权数据的详细比较显示的。虽然这种权属转换多年来一直记录在高档化地区,但人们对其对当地社区的影响知之甚少。这是一个危险的盲点,因为以私人租赁为主导的中产阶级化比与所有权相关的中产阶级化更有害:它目前更普遍,更有可能取代较贫穷的居民,创造商品化的空间,其生产剥夺了低收入业主。
