Voices of Bristol: : Gentrification and Us

Voices of Bristol: : Gentrification and Usaf Henry Palmer
Bag om Voices of Bristol: : Gentrification and Us

'This area is up-and-coming now' is a phrase used increasingly in Bristol. However, in Henry Palmer's examination of the ongoing renovation of South England's second largest city, this book aims to dispel the notion that gentrification is altogether a positive development in many of its traditionally poorer areas. It delves deep into the heart of Bristol to highlight how, behind the new coffee shops and high end restaurants, there are intensely negative effects at play. In doing so, 'Voices of Bristol' provides an expansive critique of the numerous casualties of the city's gentrification, while also providing, concrete, achievable solutions that reconcile the positives with the negatives, and, ultimately, aim to create a more united Bristol.
