Resum

Tot i que les ciutats de tot el món estan mobilitzant cada vegada més projectes de renaturalització per a fer front als diferents reptes socioambientals urbans i sanitaris, hi ha proves creixents que aquests processos també poden estar vinculats amb un fenomen conegut com la gentrificació verda. Ara bé, fins ara no hi ha gaires proves empíriques sobre la relació entre els espais verds i la gentrificació en termes d'associacions amb diferents tipus d'espais verds (és a dir, l'àrea total de parcs, jardins, reserves naturals, àrees recreatives o vies verdes [i] afegides abans del 2000 o [ii] afegides abans del 2010) i els processos de gentrificació (inclosos [i] la gentrificació per al 2000; [ii] la gentrificació per al 2010; [iii] la gentrificació durant les dècades dels anys 2000 i 2010) en cada unitat geogràfica petita de cada ciutat. Per a estimar-ne les associacions, hem desenvolupat un model espacial jeràrquic bayesià per a cada ciutat i període temporal de gentrificació (és a dir, un màxim de tres models per ciutat). Més de la meitat dels nostres models han mostrat que els parcs -juntament amb altres factors com ara la proximitat al centre urbà- estan associats positivament amb els processos de gentrificació, sobretot en el context nord-americà, excepte les ciutats postindustrials desinvertides històricament negres amb molts terrenys erms. A més a més, hem vist que en la meitat dels nostres models els espais recreatius i les vies verdes recentment designades s'associen negativament amb els processos de gentrificació, sobretot si es consideren durant el 2000s i el 2010s i als EUA. Mentrestant, pel que fa a nous jardins, espais recreatius i camins verds, la nostra investigació mostra resultats mixtos (algunes associacions positives, altres negatives i d'altres sense efecte). Tenint en compte els beneficis ambientals i sanitaris dels projectes de renaturalització urbana, les ciutats haurien de continuar invertint per millorar l'accés als parcs alhora que implementen polítiques verdes anti-desplaçament i inclusives.

abstract = "Although cities globally are increasingly mobilizing re-naturing projects to address diverse urban socio-environmental and health challenges, there is mounting evidence that these interventions may also be linked to the phenomenon known as green gentrification. However, to date the empirical evidence on the relationship between greenspaces and gentrification regarding associations with different greenspace types remains scarce. This study focused on 28 mid-sized cities in North America and Western Europe. We assessed improved access to different types of greenspace (i.e. total area of parks, gardens, nature preserves, recreational areas or greenways [i] added before the 2000s or [ii] added before the 2010s) and gentrification processes (including [i] gentrification for the 2000s; [ii] gentrification for the 2010s; [iii] gentrification throughout the decades of the 2000s and 2010s) in each small geographical unit of each city. To estimate the associations, we developed a Bayesian hierarchical spatial model for each city and gentrification time period (i.e. a maximum of three models per city). More than half of our models showed that parks—together with other factors such as proximity to the city center—are positively associated with gentrification processes, particularly in the US context, except in historically Black disinvested postindustrial cities with lots of vacant land. We also find than in half of our models newly designated nature preserves are negatively associated with gentrification processes, particularly when considering gentrification throughout the 2000s and the 2010s and in the US. Meanwhile, for new gardens, recreational spaces and greenways, our research shows mixed results (some positive, some negative and some no effect associations). Considering the environmental and health benefits of urban re-naturing projects, cities should keep investing in improving park access while simultaneously implementing anti-displacement and inclusive green policies.",
