Abstract

[Abstract]: This article has deconstructed the general phenomenon of gentrification in the historic centre of A Coruña in two models. On the one hand, a model based on social class promotion, symbolic capital and economic status in the Cidade Vella. On the other hand, the neighbourhood of Orzán as a transformation process resulting from a phenomenon of commercial gentrification based on two interrelated processes: first, the demand for new places of consumption and entertainment and second, the material devaluation of the neighbourhood. In this regard, this work brings a new dimension to the global debate around commercial gentrification.

Por otro lado, el barrio del Orzán como proceso de transformación resultante de un fenómeno de gentrificación comercial basado en dos procesos interrelacionados: en primer lugar, la demanda de nuevos lugares de consumo y ocio y, en segundo lugar, la devaluación material del barrio.
