A Comparison Study of International Development-Caused Forced Displacement and Resettlement by the World Bank and Gentrification in Washington, DC


 This article discusses the similarities, and distinctions, between two types of development-caused forced displacement and resettlement (DFDR): (1) international DFDR processes by the World Bank, and (2) gentrification in US metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) or cities. First, this article provides a review and commentary on the literature on international DFDR by the World Bank. Second, this article does the same with DFDR by gentrification in Washington, DC based on the work of the DC Grassroots Planning Coalition—a Washington, DC coalition working to voice a community-based perspective to the DC City Council on gentrification issues, including affordable housing. Finally, a discussion is provided comparing the two types of DFDR.
