PLANETARY GENTRIFICATION AND URBAN AUTHORITARIANISM

Loretta Lees

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 2024, vol. 48, issue 4, 729-737

Abstract: In gentrification studies to date, authoritarianism has mainly served as a contextual backdrop to discussions of state‐led gentrification. In this concluding essay I reflect on the explorations of ‘ordinary’ geographical cases of ‘everyday authoritarianism’ presented in this intervention on planetary gentrification and urban authoritarianism. The cases of Istanbul, Casablanca and Lijiang show how the complex merging of authoritarian and neoliberal is now one of the cruxes of gentrification globally.
