Gentrification in medium-sized ecuadorian cities in the current context of territorial planning: literature review

Abstract

This article reviews the literature on the study of the gentrification phenomenon with emphasis on the mutation that it has experienced from the 1960s to the present, differentiating its various consequences that depend not only on the country analyzed but also on the scales of the city from which the problem develops. Through this analysis, a prior theoretical framework is developed that is capable of supporting the effects of this phenomenon in intermediate cities of Ecuador in a context of territorial planning.
