Next City is running a special feature that provides a timeline of events of significance to society's concept of gentrification.
Next City introduces the feature by noting that the term recently passed a historic landmark: "The term 'gentrification' turned 50 in 2014," after Ruth Glass coined the term in 1964. "Originally coined to describe organic population shifts witnessed in London’s inner neighborhoods, it has come to encapsulate cultural trends, economic cycles and discrete public policies."
The timeline includes 18 data points, including seven after 2000.
