註釋This research is concerned with how the geographic context of a city influences the factors that cause gentrification to occur. It centers on this central premise: The factors that shape gentrification in cities like Toledo, Ohio are vastly different than Portland, Oregon, or London, England and this reasoning is centered on the issue of geographical context; the interplay of locational forces which are unique to one specific area (i.e. economic conditions, housing stock, urban amenities, or population growth/decline). If attempts at theorization are to have any effect, they must identify a group of cities that share a particular context. One potential area for study would involve a comparison of gentrification's forces among declining medium-sized cities in the Rust Belt. It is believed that architecture, among all available factors, plays the largest significant role in why middle-class residents chose to relocate to central city neighborhoods in Rust Belt cities.
