Shared by @CorujaTejedora in [FRP-32: Socioeconomic effects of cryptocurrency redistribution in the Costa Rican rural town of Tinamastes](https://collective.flashbots.net/t/frp-32-socioeconomic-effects-of-cryptocurrency-redistribution-in-the-costa-rican-rural-town-of-tinamastes/2287) Statement: The authors demonstrate ways in which urban research and mobility studies can help us further understand the complexities of the transnational gentrification phenomenon. Description: Through a literature analysis, Hayes and Zaban (2020) walk us through the different lenses of study of transnational gentrification (T.G.) identifying new developments such as: T.G. of heritage sites, T.G. of smaller cities, North-South T.G., T.G. and displacement, T.G. and collaboration, T.G. as a tool for mobility for middle class citizens of high-income countries. Comments: While this article covers a large range of lenses to understand T.G., Hayes and Zaban keep a critical eye to developing ways of neocolonialism present in T.G.: rising rent gaps, displacement, appropriation, transformation of local lifestyles and landscapes. Evaluations: In regards to our research, this article identifies the interconnection between: mobility of middle class foreigners and displacement of local communities is key, as well as, the welcoming/collaboration of locals to T.G. Furthermore, it pinpoints the blurred lines between expats, migrants and tourists in tourism locations. Key Words: Transnational gentrification, transnational mobility, neocolonial appropriation, Airbnbisation, Tourism Gentrification --- _[View the full topic](https://collective.flashbots.net/t/2020-transnational-gentrification-the-crossroads-of-transnational-mobility-and-urban-research/3177)._
