A multilevel analysis of a gentrification process in a spanish medium-sized city: the case of A Coruña
Keywords:
Gentrification, Commerce, Seafront renewal, Historic center, A Coruña, Galicia, TradeAbstract
This article has deconstructed the general phenomenon of gentrification in the historic centre of A Coruña in two models. On the one hand, a model based on social class promotion, symbolic capital and economic status in the Cidade Vella. On the other hand, the neighbourhood of Orzán as a transformation process resulting from a phenomenon of commercial gentrification based on two interrelated processes: first, the demand for new places of consumption and entertainment and second, the material devaluation of the neighbourhood. In this regard, this work brings a new dimension to the global debate around commercial gentrification.
