Title: Metros and Gentrification In Montreal - A Survival Analysis Approach
Accession Number: 01369942
Record Type: Component
Abstract: The phenomenon of gentrification has received a great deal of attention in the planning and geography literatures. While it has been observed that good public transit is often a characteristic of gentrifying and gentrified neighborhoods, the link between high transit accessibility and gentrification has not been formally and systematically examined. This paper provides the results of the first part of a study of major Canadian cities that looks explicitly at the link between the construction of heavy rail (metro) systems and gentrification. In all, four Canadian cities with major public transit infrastructure (subway, metro and dedicated light rail lines) will be studied. The paper describes the methodological approach to approaching this question while focusing on the first of the four cities to be studied (Montreal). A survival analysis approach is adopted to examine the relationship between heavy rail infrastructure and gentrification.
