Kinda short, but absolutely fantastic. Couldn't really put it down after I picked it up. This is one of those books you finish more or less in one go. It gave me Tchaikovsky-vibes, but without the apocalyptic bits.

To a significant extent, this is an expanded version of this manifesto: wiki.rechtaufstadt.net/index.php/Manifest_Not_In_Our_Name,_Marke_Hamburg! I think the discussion/interview in chapter 6 was useful; beyond that I got some Hamburg history out of it. In terms of the main subject matter (gentrification), I got a lot less out of it than I had hoped. I think it serves as a nice introduction with a specific, detailed example, but I don't think it's argumentatively solid enough to convince people. Finally, for a work claiming to take an activist perspective, there is frustratingly little political commentary or praxis in it.
All that being said, if you're looking for a fairly short overview, this might be the book for you.

This could have been a fantastic essay, but instead it's a meandering book. Overall it's a good introduction to gentrification, but the later half felt very long winded. Luckily, the structure is such that the initial chapter contains a central thesis which is then expanded upon. Read that and you've kind of got the gist.
