Gentrification and Real Renewal In the book I am currently reading Urban Ministry, I was challenged to rethink my view on gentrification. I had always looked at gentrification as a postive thing, even an evidence of renewal taking place in some small measure. The restoration of homes into more comfortable and esthetically pleasing dwellings has [...]
