- Title
Nobilitação urbana marginal enquanto prática emancipatória: alternativa ao discurso hegemónico da cidade criativa?
- Authors
MENDES, LUÍS
- Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to present and discuss marginal urban gentrification as a potential emancipatory practice. This movement is spearheaded by the less privileged sectors of the new middle classes, individuals who are underemployed or in temporary, precarious employment yet still prefer to live in central areas of the city, thus becoming pioneer gentrifiers. They refuse the conventional suburban norms and revanchist city canons, and thus, as a group, they may become an alternative to the dominant narrative presented by the creative city.
