Managing the Potential Negative Effects of Urban Regeneration: Gentrification and Social Capital Loss Gentrification is one of the unforeseen outcomes of urban revitalization. Gentrification is defined as a movement in an urban neighbourhood toward affluent inhabitants and companies, resulting in rises in property prices... Regeneration can lead to gentrification - especially if a city's goal is to attract wealthier residents and businesses from outside its borders. The people who live in regenerated areas tend to be better off than those who don't, which can cause tensions between newcomers and locals. For example, some people may feel like they aren't getting a fair share of the city's services such as education and healthcare because they believe these things should be shared equally among all citizens. Gentrifiers often move into areas that are economically depressed or socially isolated. They may choose to live in downtown areas where there are more opportunities for jobs, or they may prefer suburbs where home prices are lower. Whatever the case may be, gentrifiers will usually want to live in areas that have good schools and are safe. Therefore, they will likely try to fit in with the existing population by going to school or working when most people are at work and staying out late at night when most people are asleep. Gentrification is a complex process that can have positive as well as negative effects for individuals and communities.
