城市理论在历史上将民族商业地带定位为附近民族住宅飞地的有机延伸。虽然这仍然是一个有用的方式来框架这样的商业空间在许多城市，本文认为，这种类型的一些地区作为一个市场化的品牌机制（有意或无意），以产生附近的住宅高档化。本文探讨了民族包装对安大略多伦多绅士化进程的影响。使用四个种族定义的业务改善区科索意大利，小意大利，印度巴扎和希腊城的丹佛斯，它探讨了构建的种族在当地真实的房地产市场的价值评估中发挥的作用。这些社区的商业区现在越来越多地发挥着推销每个社区住宅真实的房地产市场的作用。这对绅士化理论和城市景观研究的更一般的理论有具体的影响。
Urban theory has historically situated ethnic commercial strips as an organic extension of nearby ethnic residential enclaving. While this is still a useful way to frame such commercial spaces in many cities, this article argues that some areas of this sort function as a marketable branding mechanism (intended or not) to produce nearby residential gentrification. This article explores the influence of ethnic packaging on the process of gentrification in Toronto, Ontario. Using four ethnically defined business-improvement areas-Corso Italia, Little Italy, India Bazaar, and Greektown on the Danforth-it explores the role that constructed ethnicity plays in the valorization of local real estate markets. The commercial areas of these neighborhoods now function increasingly as ways to market each neighborhood's residential real estate markets. This has specific implications for gentrification theory and more general ones for the study of urban landscapes.
