Video: Gentrification Explained
“Gentrification Explained” is a short video that unpacks what gentrification really means, getting beyond the buzzword. It was produced through the collaboration of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, the Urban Displacement Project at UC-Berkeley, and The San Francisco Foundation’s Great Communities Collaborative.
Gentrification is complex. To understand it, there are three key things to consider:
- The historic conditions, especially policies and practices that made communities susceptible to gentrification.
- The way that central city disinvestment and investment patterns are taking place today as a result of these conditions.
- And the ways that gentrification impacts communities.
