Gentrification in Helsinki (eBook, PDF)

Urban Planning at the Edge of the Welfare State

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book unravels the paradox of gentrification in Helsinki where housing and welfare policies work well under certain conditions to prevent the worst outcomes of residential gentrification. Yet other forms of gentrification have proliferated and local urban planning has gained a momentum so as to remake the urban landscape.
