Preferred term

rural gentrification  

Definition

  • Like its urban counterpart, rural gentrification refers to processes of social replacement and displacement that are the outcome of changing investment strategies, economic restructuring, and changing government policy. Together, these pressures both produce and foster continuing migrations of people to and from rural places. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Rural Gentrification]
