L’originale definizione di gentrification ha subito forti cambiamenti: dapprima definita come trasformazione delle aree centrali della città, è ora associata anche alle zone periferiche. Inoltre, se prima si riteneva che i principali fautori del processo fossero i componenti della middle class e gli investitori, ora vengono inclusi anche le organizzazioni (semi-)statali. Adottando questo sguardo più ampio è possibile identificare una lenta e costante gentrificazione della città di Amsterdam, che vede il governo locale e le cooperative edilizie coinvolti nell’implementazione di interventi di promozione del mix sociale nei quartieri più poveri e nella vendita dell’edilizia pubblica in tutti i quartieri. Attraverso lo studio del cambiamento sociale, dei valori fondiari e del displacement indiretto, questo articolo sostiene che il processo di gentrificazione interessa ormai tutta la città
