Abstract:Green gentrification is a gentrification phenomenon due to green infrastructure construction, which has become one of the hotspots in the field of gentrification. Taking Xi'an City as a case area, the identification, spatial effect and formation mechanism of green gentrification was carried out based on multi-source data include remote sensing images, population census, housing price, and in-depth interviews. The results show that 1) Based on the younger population, higher education and significant growth of housing prices in the surrounding communities caused by the construction or renovation of the park, four green gentrification parks in the main urban area of Xi'an were identified, three of which were in the Qujiang New District. 2) The spatial effects of green gentrification include the improvement of the human settlement environment, the increase of housing prices, the break and continuation of the indigenous social network, and the social space differentiation and isolation between gentrification groups and indigenous peoples. 3) Through the construction of green built environment, local governments have realized the expansion of green rent gap and become the leading force of green gentrification. While the production of urban green space has also shaped landscape symbols highlighting identity and social status, which just meet the symbol consumption needs of gentrification groups.
