It features an unforgettable cast railing against gentrification. Will Shola Amoo’s tribute help stop the exodus of locals – and the influx of gourmet jerk chicken shops?
“I think change is inevitable but gentrification isn’t – if we really value culture and diversity, surely some investment can be made to protect it. Or do we want a situation where only people from a certain social-economic bracket get to live in London?” Shola Amoo, writer/director A Moving Image
The tension of yuppies encroaching on downmarket neighbourhoods has long been food for two classic film genres, writes Peter Bradshaw – horror and satire

Black talent in the film industry claim audiences are being short-changed because the media does not reflect British society.

As the new academic year starts, an editorial written by university students in Boston admits that, as temporary residents willing to pay high rents, they should take responsibility for speeding the gentrification of some neighbourhoods
Paige Smith, writer at The Daily Free Press - the independent student newspaper at Boston University - paints a disturbing picture of the consequences of gentrification. “Massive groups of people without a home and without an identity; cultural strongholds quickly vanishing.”

Today we begin a new series looking at the impact of gentrification and rising housing costs all over the world – and the ways some cities are trying to tackle this global phenomenon
Architect and Guardian design critic Oliver Wainwright believes the best solution to mitigate the impact of the “almost inevitable tide of urban gentrification” is a tax on the value of land, which (in his opinion) would “capture the value of improvements for the local community”, rather than lining the pockets of investors.

Whether you are campaigning against displacement or your city has policies to safeguard affordable housing, share your stories of gentrification here
Community editor for Guardian Cities Francesca Perry talks about #GlobalGentrification ahead of a forthcoming Guardian Cities feature focusing on gentrification around the world.
Dedicated “artist zones” could be created in areas such as Hackney Wick and Peckham to offer protection against developers and soaring rents, under proposals being worked on by the deputy mayor for culture. Justine Simons said stopping creative people being priced out of London was a priority for her. In her first interview since being appointed to the role by Sadiq Khan in July, she told the Standard: “Infrastructure is a big challenge for this city.
“At the moment artists and creative people are like the advance party — they find the stranger, weird places that no one sees much value in, they bring them to life, the area becomes valuable and then they are priced out of the market.” Justine Simons, London’s new deputy mayor for culture.

Born in the divided Germany of the early 80’s, cinematographer Felix Schmilinsky shares his views on #gentrification.
Branded a hotbed of lawless left-wing extremists after street clashes in July left over 100 police injured, one of Berlin's last squats has become the symbol of a raging battle over gentrification.
In the wild years after the 1989 fall of the Wall, which many Berliners remember with nostalgia, young people moved into abandoned buildings to party in techno raves, make art and experiment with free, alternative lifestyles.
Many squats were in working-class districts like Friedrichshain which, after the Wall fell, found themselves squarely in the centre of reunified Berlin.
Their Bohemian flair has since attracted a middle-class influx and driven up property prices, luring back absent landlords eager to turn crumbling buildings into multi-million-euro luxury condos.
The hipster may be a capitalist but they are also crafty, ethical and mobile and can breathe new life into post-welfare-state wastelands. That’s why they are so useful to the government
Interesting piece of a journalism from Stephen Pritchard, a contributor to the Guardian and a PhD researcher at Northumbria University currently exploring how activist art might create spaces for acts of resistance and liberation. Pritchard, says his research particularly focuses on “interventions which support movements that oppose gentrification, displacement and corporate capitalism and seek creative new approaches to developing radical socialist democracies”.
