- Abstract
This chapter longitudinal and quantitative spatial analysis, the authors consider how green gentrification and concurrently displacement are manifesting in the city of Barcelona in the context of greening projects since the 1990s. They provides a more indepth theoretical review of the literature on green gentrification and displacement, explaining how the topics are approached, and outline Barcelona’s greening trajectory since the democratic transition in the late 1970s.

This chapter longitudinal and quantitative spatial analysis, the authors consider how green gentrification and concurrently displacement are manifesting in the city of Barcelona in the context of greening projects since the 1990s. They provides a more indepth theoretical review of the literature on green gentrification and displacement, explaining how the topics are approached, and outline Barcelona’s greening trajectory since the democratic transition in the late 1970s. The authors reflect on what the conceptual apparatus of green gentrification brings to studies of contemporary displacement. They sought to introduce the paradoxical role that urban greening can play in cities, highlighting how attempts to physically green cities are not necessarily good for all as it can spur or exacerbate exclusion, marginalization, and displacement. Regarding deeper understandings of contemporary displacement processes, an important function of green gentrification as critical conceptual apparatus is in uncovering post-political nature of much sustainability and green planning taking place in cities around world.
