Gentrification and the politics of the new middle class

Auteur :
LEY, D.

Description :
The A. seeks to specify a social lacation for left-liberal politics among a distinctive cadre of social and cultural professionals, the cultural new class. The part played since 1968 by the cultural new class in the gentrifying districts in redefining the urban politics of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver is examined. The role of a gentrifying middle class in challenging an hegemony of growth boosterism, and the attempt to sustain a regime of reform politics, are assessed.
