Urban redevelopment for whom? Developing practice-based knowledge for inclusive market redevelopment schemes

这个奖学金响应贫困，不平等和社会包容的重大社会挑战。该奖学金将直接有助于推进关于中产阶级化的理论和实践知识;低收入公民从他们的环境中流离失所和/或边缘化，为高收入用户和居民让路的过程。特别是，该奖学金将专注于正在进行重建的城镇和城市中心的传统零售市场的未充分研究的案例，以分析这些过程的包容性以及如何减轻排斥性结果。中产阶级化研究绝大多数集中在住房上，忽视了零售环境如何也随着排他性趋势而转变。市场是产生新知识的理想和原始场所，因为它们是经济，社会和文化实践的纽带，也是城市的关键基础设施。随着社会向更可持续的消费方式过渡，并注重当地创造的经济财富，市场可以再次成为社区的关键支柱。

This studentship responds to the grand social challenges of poverty, inequalities, and social inclusion . The studentship will directly contribute to advance theoretical and practical knowledge on gentrification; the process whereby low-income citizens are displaced and/or marginalised from their environments to make way for higher income users and residents. In particular, the studentship will focus on the understudied case of traditional retail markets in town and city centres undergoing redevelopment, to analyse how inclusive these processes are and how to mitigate against exclusionary outcomes. Gentrification research has overwhelmingly concentrated on housing, neglecting how retail environments are also transforming with exclusionary trends. Markets are an ideal and original site to generate new knowledge as they are nexus of economic, social, and cultural practices and are also key infrastructures of the city. As society transitions towards more sustainable consumption practices and focus on locally generated economic wealth, markets can become again key community anchors.
