In an urban context, gentrification is associated with movement and can be viewed positively, in that it drives investment and economic prosperity to an area; and negatively, in that there is the perception that the traditional character and culture of an area becomes diluted and gradually rendered obsolete.	+	The term ‘gentrification’ refers to changes that occur over time as a direct or indirect result of people on higher incomes purchasing or renting property in low income or ‘working class’ areas.

	The term derives from the word ‘gentry’ which historically referred to people with wealth, although it originates from the Old French ‘genterise’ meaning ‘of gentle birth’ which became anglicised as ‘gentleman’. The term itself was coined by the sociologist Ruth Glass in 1964 in response to the influx of middle-class people to the cities which she saw as displacing ‘lower-class’ residents.
