Abstract
This report conceptualizes hazard gentrification, a distinct form of gentrification that occurs when a natural hazard destroys a significant proportion of a community, and its inhabitants become displaced by wealthier residents. We differentiate this phenomenon of disaster capitalism from other forms of climate, environmental, green, and resilience gentrification; summarize its structural drivers; and review trade-offs for municipalities, environmental sustainability, and housing equity. We conclude with implications for municipal governments, who increasingly face post-disaster decision-making during the rebuilding process.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international.
Key topics:-
-multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters
-the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques
-discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels
-disasters associated with climate change
-vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends
-emerging risks
-resilience against disasters.
The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
