Abstract
The phenomenon of commercial gentrification, marked by transformations in commercial spaces and retail patterns, is increasingly evident globally, significantly altering consumption spaces to cater to new residents and impacting main shopping areas. This study examines commercial gentrification in Taipei City, focusing on identifying affected areas and analyzing their environmental characteristics. Using secondary dissemination areas as spatial units, the research constructs quantifiable indicators to map the occurrence of commercial gentrification. Principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to explore the environmental factors correlated with this process. Taipei City's historical and economic evolution, characterized by significant infrastructure developments and commercial transformations, provides the context for this study. The threshold strategy revealed patterns of commercial gentrification within the Da'an, Zhongzheng, and Songshan districts, with Da'an displaying the most significant changes. The weighted results suggest that areas experiencing commercial gentrification showcase a high degree of diversity, a lower presence of vulnerable populations, and superior public transportation and amenities. This study aims to provide insights into the spatial dynamics and environmental impacts of commercial gentrification, offering a comprehensive understanding of its progression in Taipei City.
期刊介绍:
Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
