Abstract

Gentrification is under way in parts of the inner city of Melbourne, Australia. Although the process is similar in various areas, differences in architectural styles, demographics, and lifestyles create images and reputations that are distinct to a neighborhood. This study focuses on three neighborhoods: North Carlton, North Fitzroy, and Middle Park. The residents there do not recognize these differences in social character, and they do not manifest personal identification with their residential area.
