Title Gentrification and Urban Heritage: The Case of Albayzin
Summary This thesis unites two theoretical frameworks, one from gentrification research and the other from heritage studies, to show how the two reinforce each other in populated urban historical heritage sites. The empirical case presented is the old Moorish neighborhood of Granada, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994. The argument forwarded is that gentrification is taken over by a value system dictated by heritage, and this changes the “classical” composition of the gentrifiers and the way the process is being shaped.
