Abstract

[This chapter focuses on the North-Parisian neighborhood called La Goutte d’Or, an historical working-class neighborhood, which for more than a century has attracted migrants (Toubon and Massamah in Centralité immigrée. Le quartier de la Goutte d’Or, Paris. Ciemi/L’Harmattan, Paris, 1990). The media never misses a chance to confirm the “exceptionality” of this Parisian area, thereby giving it a stigmatized reputation that reinforces the idea of it as an insecure area in the need of “renovation.” A public urban policy (La Politique de la Ville) has focused on this area since the 1980s to improve local infrastructures and socioeconomic development. The arrival of middle-class residents has contributed to its evolution and has started a debate about gentrification. The latest urban renewal plan has selected higher status “future” residents and is trying to rebrand La Goutte d’Or as a more desirable residential location. This chapter aims to unpack the globalized concept of “gentrification” by questioning its limits in a local context.]
