Title GLOVE ACTUALLY: INTEGRATION AND GENTRIFICATION IN A COMMUNITY CENTER IN BUDAPEST
Summary This paper examines how gentrification and integration relate to one another in a social town rehabilitation program situated in the 8th district of Budapest. The analysis is based on a case study of the Kesztyűgyár Community Center, which is the focal point of the social side of the rehabilitation. The research is grounded on anthropological methods – interviewing and participant observation – which revealed information about both the ideal and the actual mechanism of the process. The theoretical framework is mainly provided by Lefebvre’s triple dialectic of spatiality and the analysis of the relevant gentrification literature. The results show that integration and gentrification coexist given that the development focuses on keeping and gentrifying of original dwellers instead of disposing them.
