1. (urban studies) The renewal and rebuilding that accompanies the influx of middle class or affluent people into deteriorating areas and often displaces earlier, usually poorer, residents; any example of such a process.
   • 2007, Arthur C. Nelson, Casey J. Dawkins, Thomas W. Sanchez, The Social Impacts of Urban Containment, page 71:

     In particular, the focus is on property value changes and gentrification in Portland that are often attributed to urban growth and containment policies within the state.

   • 2010, Jerry Carrier, The Making of the Slave Class, page 177:

     I went to a large national forum not that long ago where about six hundred local government officials, nonprofit and neighborhood development corporation staff met to discuss the gentrification of urban neighborhoods. The irony is that the forum quickly shifted to discussions on race as it frequently does when gentrification is discussed.
