Regeneration programmes: Enforcing the right to housing or fostering gentrification? The example of Bankside in London

Francesca Leccis

Land Use Policy, 2019, vol. 89, issue C

However, this supposedly marvellous project often hides the drawback of pricing former residents out of their neighbourhood, thus fostering the process commonly named “gentrification”.
