What this check doesn’t establish
- The origin of the term was not traced; coined_by is left empty rather than guessed.
Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
The term names a distributional risk of urban improvement: that the benefits of new parks, trees and greener streets pass to incoming residents as rents rise.
Distinct from gentrification in general, which this library does not yet record. A broader record could take this one as skos:narrower if later writing needs it.
