Research: Global Urban Displacement

Displacement occurs in cities and regions around the world, due to the lack of policies and programs to stabilize communities in the face of investment and disinvestment by both the private and public sectors. Urban Displacement Project faculty, students, and partners have mapped patterns of neighborhood change–including displacement, gentrification, and exclusion–around the world relying primarily on secondary data from the census. We welcome contributions from academics as well as public and nonprofit organizations who wish to add their own maps to our site.
