Discussion

This review evaluates measurement methods and implications for gentrification in urban studies, suggesting improvements for methodologies.

Gentrification measurement lacks consensus, leading to varied findings in urban studies.
Of 179 studies reviewed, few incorporate race or address both supply and demand factors.
Recent approaches show increased methodological complexity, but inconsistencies persist among studies.
Clearer standards for measurement are needed to enhance the rigor and relevance of gentrification research.
