Gentrification and displacement: The impacts of mass transit in Bangkok

Abstract

There is limited research regarding gentrification's relationship with mass transit and, more generally, a lack of qualitative research that explores the experiences of those impacted by gentrification. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining through interviews the experiences of new and incumbent residents in two neighbourhoods along a mass transit extension line in Bangkok. Results show that new-build gentrification and displacement are occurring in the case study area due to mass transit. Residents' views are generally mixed. However, extremely negative views exist amongst those displaced, and the dangers of quantitative measures of displacement are evident.
