Question 2

Why is it, not direct displacement? + citation

Answer 2

• Unlike urban gentrification, rural gentrification, does not necessarily mean direct displacement (Phillips 2002, Halfcaree 2018)
• The drift from the land in rural areas is a result of changing labour dynamics - pull factors that have drawn people to cities
• Happening way before the counter-urbanisation process takes place - people leaving the rural areas much before gentrification

Question 3

Why replacement and not displacement? + citations

Answer 3

• Refilling ‘empty spaces’ e.g. churches, and schools closed down due to no prior disinvestment - these empty spaces then get converted into new buildings (Stockdale, 2010)

Question 4

what is marginal gentrification? + citation

Answer 4

• Rather than replacing specific social groups gentrification can take place as a result of groups of lower economic status who use sweat equity (their own labour)
  -They will buy relatively cheap property and use their own labour to increase its value

Question 5

Questioning displacement + Citation

Answer 5

• (Collins 2013) suggests ‘indirect replacement’, especially with new builds
• Local people are not ‘replaced’ or displaced per se - but are unable to get onto the property ladder
• ‘Exclusionary Displacement’ (Phillips et al, 2021)
