Abstract

Green gentrification is a phenomenon where urban greening initiatives, such as the development of parks, green spaces, and other environmental amenities, lead to neighborhood changes, for example, witnessed by increasing property values, thus the attraction of wealthier population and the displacement of lower-income residents (Anguelovski, 2016; Anguelovski et al. 2018; Ordor, et al., 2022; Jelks et al., 2021; Alkon and Cadji, 2020; Anguelovski and Connolly, 2024). Green gentrification can be both active, involving deliberate improvements to green infrastructure, and passive, where the mere presence of green spaces increases property desirability (Łaszkiewicz, 2024).
