Overview

Critical review demonstrates variability in gentrification measurement methods, indicating a need for improved standards.

Key Points

  • Findings reveal significant variability in gentrification operationalization across studies, complicating discourse.
  • The study reviews 179 quantitative studies, revealing gaps like insufficient integration of race in analysis.
  • Analysis of methodological approaches highlights underutilization of mixed methods and local context considerations.
  • Future research must adopt theoretically grounded methodologies and better address spatial and social issues.
