A SALON article, albeit on the obnoxious side, evidences the "monstruous gentrification" taking place in the coveted Upper Kirby neighbourhood in Houston's inner loop.

Right to Wynwood- this 21min video explores Wynwood's gentrification near downtown Miami, where real estate developers have helped promote an artistic community that some compare today to SoHo in New York. As expected, this shift has not been controversy-free...#streetart #gentrification #urbanrenovation

Manhattan High Line - urban renovation at its best.

Manhattan's High Line is one of my favourite urban renovation projects anywhere in the World: through excellence in operations, administration, innovative programming and World-class design, this 1.45-mile-long New York City linear park is one beautiful example of urban renovation. Boarding the Meatpacking District in Lower Manhattan, and thriving since 2006 upon completion and after the space was donated by CSX Transportation, Inc. in 2005, an old and decaying railroad track was transformed into one of the most dynamic real estate, design and New York lifestyle niches in the city. More about that here:
