Overview

Scoping review highlights gentrification's implications in Africa, suggesting methodological shifts for sociological engagement.

Key Points

  • Gentrification increasingly drives urban change in the global south, particularly in Africa.
  • The analysis of 24 peer-reviewed articles reveals minimal scrutiny of gentrification processes in African cities.
  • The lack of in-depth sociological inquiry stems from methodological challenges and a focus on North-centered perspectives.
  • Enhancing gentrification scholarship can provide valuable insights into Africa’s unique urban experiences.
