About the Book

This insightful book provides a crucial understanding of the relationship between gentrification and education. Drawing on an array of international research, it examines how families, schools and education policies interact with urban transformation to highlight complex and often overlooked patterns.



Leading experts examine how student populations and competition for school places are reshaped when neighbourhoods are transformed by rising housing costs and the arrival of affluent residents. They illustrate how the outcomes of gentrification, including increased segregation, reinforced education inequalities and uneven access to resources, are consistently harmful despite varying local policies. By analysing evidence from diverse contexts, the book demonstrates that schools are not only affected by urban change, but are key sites where the social consequences of gentrification unfold and educational opportunities are limited or widened.



Gentrification and Schooling in Global Cities is an essential resource for scholars and students of educational equity and access, particularly those interested in urban education. Education policymakers and urban planners will also benefit from its actionable recommendations for mitigating the impact of urban change.

Review :
‘Drawing on multidisciplinary and multi-method studies in North American and European gentrified contexts, this compelling book shows the combined effects of middle-class parents’, schools’ and policymakers’ strategies on the emergence of new forms of social closure, inequality, and exclusion in urban and educational arenas.’ ‘This timely book offers a compelling account of how far-reaching urban and socio-economic transformations are reshaping access to education and deepening inequalities. A pioneering work that will undoubtedly become a key reference for scholars of urban studies and education.’ ‘Xavier Bonal and Marta Cordini – eminent sociologists with timely insights for education policy – have assembled a stellar group of scholars to understand gentrification’s impacts on urban schooling. Their essential contributions from multiple perspectives raise serious concerns about market-centered education policies that often further advantage the affluent as they occupy urban spaces.’ ‘This book is a comprehensive contribution to the understanding of the interrelations between key social urban dynamics and other forces affecting school compositions and educational performance. The international team of specialist authors offer perspectives from a variety of institutional and urban contexts. A must-read for those who are active in this field.’
