ABSTRACT
In this collection of ten chapters, the editors of this book have sought to offer a new perspective on the study of gentrification. Cities and the wider issues of urban space have been abundantly studied by scholars in a range of disciplines and the process of gentrification has been explored since Ruth Glass coined the term in 1964. Yet the relationship between gentrification and the media remains very much unexplored territory. Although some academics became interested in the subject in the 1980s (Zukin 1982), it took several decades for the media’s agency to be fully recognized.
