Abstract

This article studies resistance to gentrification from a recognition theory perspective. It discusses two cases of gentrification: in the Tweebosbuurt in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and in the Quartier Maritime in Molenbeek, Belgium. Resistance to gentrification assumed different forms in these neighbourhoods. Based on a comparative case study and in order to better understand these different forms of resistance, this article identifies 15 dimensions that mediate the gentrification–resistance nexus. This list of 15 dimensions can serve as a heuristic device for the future study of the gentrification–resistance nexus in other contexts. In focusing on the types of gentrification, this article also makes a programmatic point, namely that research on the gentrification–resistance nexus should consider systematically how this relationship is mediated by the particularities of processes of gentrification.
