Why is it important?
Changes to public spaces are often seen as as a result of gentrification. I argue that changing public spaces works to change neighborhood demographics.
Perspectives
During my fieldwork in rapidly gentrifying North Denver, long-time residents often expressed how they felt out of place in their neighborhood while outside, on streets, in parks. This paper argues that feelings of dislocation (a quality) from public space must be considered a factor in demographic neighborhood change (a quantity).
