ABSTRACT
Despite calls at the dawn of the twenty-first century to allow ‘gentrification’ to disintegrate under the burden of its reconceptualization (Bondi 1999), the term has not disintegrated; quite the opposite, it has become stronger and more internationally known. The literature on gentrification itself has grown, offering new understandings, and it remains at the centre of critical work in urban theory. Gentrification scholars have not been afraid to ‘burden’ it with new concepts.
