Synopsis: This book explores the profound impacts of gentrification on public health, examining how this process reshapes socioeconomic and physical environments, exacerbates health disparities, and influences lived experiences. It does so through diverse theoretical, methodological, and empirical perspectives provided by leading researchers from around the globe. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the intersections between gentrification and health, with multidisciplinary perspectives and international case studies. It explores key concepts, addresses methodological challenges, and introduces innovative analytical approaches to disentangle the complex pathways linking gentrification to health. With contributions from leading experts, this book synthesises current evidence and provides scholars, policymakers, and practitioners with the knowledge needed to design rigorous studies and implement evidence-based interventions that mitigate health risks, build resilience, and foster equity in rapidly evolving territories. This book is designed for researchers across social and health sciences, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as policymakers, urban planners, and public health professionals interested in understanding and addressing the health impacts of gentrification.
