這個字很容易讓人聯想到 gentleman (紳士)這個字
它們兩者的確是有關係的
gentrification [͵dʒɛntrɪfɪˋkeʃən] 是從動詞 gentrify 而來的名詞
所謂 gentrify 就是指都市計畫中將一個逐漸破敗的社區建設成新的社區
用來吸引中產階級或更富有的人來居住
所以我們所謂的都市更新,有人稱它為 gentrification
雖然正確來說應該叫 urban renewal [ˋɝbən rɪˋnjuəl]
因為我們的都更其實只是純粹把舊的社區翻新
並沒有要吸引所得更高的人來居住的意思
雖然這可能也是都更附帶的好處之一
但不見得會帶動整個社區的繁榮
gentrification 有人翻作「仕紳化」
是比較接近原義的翻譯

我們來造些句:

Working people in this neighborhood have been priced out by gentrification.
(這個地區的勞動階級已被當地的仕紳化地價趕出該地。)
The city counselor talked about the gentrification in her neighborhood.
(該名市議員談論了她所居住的地方的仕紳化。)
Gentrification leads to the rise of proper values and rents.
(仕紳化會導致房地產價格和租金上揚。)
