This book focuses on urban redevelopment and neighborhood gentrification in three global contexts: New York City (USA), London (UK) and Seoul (South Korea). It examines the processes and challenges that impact the various constituencies who live and work in these different global neighborhoods, in comparative contexts. In so doing, the authors explore the complexities wrought by our global economy through globalization and competition, and the rapid pace of urbanization, as they impact urban redevelopment and neighborhood gentrification in global cities. While all societies seek to advance, the volume's recurring question is cui bono, who benefits from modern day urban redevelopment and neighborhood gentrification, irrespective of geographical setting, and raises the question, 'but, where are the poor to live?'
