课程名称：住房流离失所与城市更新的文化影响 课程概述：本课程介绍了城市更新的概念以及住房流离失所对全球城市及社区人群的文化影响。城市更新是指富裕人群迁入某个区域，这通常导致贫困群体因租金和房价上涨而被迫搬离。城市更新通常与住房改善以及地方商店和服务的变化相关联。有时，它与黑人群体被白人群体取代密切相关。城市更新的影响从来不是中性的，地方会发生变化，居住于此的人群也会不同。参与这一过程中有赢家和输家，新来者和被迫迁移者，地方的社会地位往往发生巨大变化。 在本课程中，我们将学习城市更新这一术语的起源，以及自1960年代首次出现以来这一术语的发展。我们将考虑不同的理论解释以理解变化过程，并探讨谁是赢家，谁是输家。在掌握理论和概念技能后，我们将应用这些技能到一系列国际案例研究中，理解城市更新在不同地方的表现和感受。我们将探讨哪些变化发生了，如何衡量变化，被迁移的人们去哪里，新的居民是谁。本课程将帮助你更好地理解社区层面的变化，激励你深入了解社会与空间变化的互动，并对你熟悉的社区未来进行批判性思考。 课程大纲： 1. 课程介绍：城市更新概述，探讨城市更新的定义及其随时间的变化，识别关键辩论和主要思想家，并反思自己对城市更新的先入之见。 2. 拆解城市更新：深入探讨关键的城市更新辩论，包括经济、社会和文化维度，以及将城市更新视为种族和社会正义问题。 3. 如何研究城市更新：了解前沿的城市更新研究，通过2021年1月进行的一系列访谈，学习城市更新的定义、衡量标准、案例研究选择和研究动机。 4. 回归总结：反思所学知识和技能，回顾抵制城市更新的策略，听取专家建议并探讨如何应用新知识和技能。 通过本课程，学员将获得对城市更新及其文化影响的深入理解。
Name:An introduction to gentrification
Description:Welcome to the course. This week we will consider what the term gentrification means and how the meaning of the term has changed over time. We will identify key debates and key thinkers and ask you to critically reflect upon your own pre-conceptions about what gentrification means.
Name:Gentrification deconstructed
Description:This week we will take the time to look at some of the key gentrification debates in a bit more detail. We will consider economic, social, and cultural dimensions to gentrification before concluding by looking at gentrification as an issue of race and social justice.
Name:How do you research gentrification?
Description:This week is an opportunity to find out about cutting-edge gentrification research. In a series of interviews conducted in January 2021, we learn about (i) the kind of research being undertaken and how it contributes to gentrification studies, (ii) how researchers define what gentrification means to them in their work; (iii) how the absence/presence of gentrification is measured and how case studies are selected; and (iv) what motivates researchers to work in this area.
Name:Back home
Description:In this final week of the course we will have a chance to take stock to reflect upon what you've learnt and the skills you've acquired. We will review some of the strategies that have emerged to resist gentrification and hear some expert advice on how to study gentrification. The week will conclude with some suggestions about the ways in which you might deploy you newly acquired knowledge and skills.
This course provides an introduction to gentrification and to the cultural impacts of housing displacement for people in cities and neighbourhoods across the world. Gentrification is a term which has been used to describe the process by which wealthier people move into an area leading to the displacement of poorer groups who are priced out of the area by increases in rents and housing prices. It is usually associated with physical improvements to the housing stock and to changes in local shops and services. Sometimes it is closely associated with the displacement of black people by white people. Gentrification is never neutral in its effects. Places change. They look and feel different and different people live there. There are winners and losers, incomers and those displaced, all of whom are caught up in a process by which the social status of an area can often change beyond recognition. Gentrification is both a social and a spatial process. It is not surprising therefore to find that most people who have written about gentrification are either sociologists or geographers. In this course we will learn how the term gentrification originated and the way in which the term has developed since its first sighting in the 1960s. We will consider different theoretical explanations for processes of change and ask questions about who wins and loses. After acquiring theoretical and conceptual skills we will apply these to a series of international case studies to understand what gentrification might look like and feel like in different places. What changes? How do you measure change? What happens to the people displaced- where do they go to? Who are the newcomers? This course will give you insights which will help you better understand neighbourhood level changes; inspire you to learn more about the interaction of social and spatial changes and to think critically about the future of neighbourhoods with which you are familiar.
