Gentrification Miami Displacement Dispossession Mega speculation Corporate Real Estate Hegemony |
| description |
Miami is not a newcomer to the history of gentrification that has reshaped the urban fabric in cities all over the world. Yet a new mega project to be implemented in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood represents a strategic capitalist modification of the city’s previous processes of class-based and racialized socio-territorial dispossession and displacement. As we argue in this paper, Little Haiti’s Magic City Innovation District stands emblematic for a global boom in financialized urban corporate accumulation, which presents new challenges to local communities. We ask, what practical political options does a predominantly poor minority community have in confronting such challenges? Our discussion of Miami’s Little Haiti suggests two conclusions: first, that real estate mega speculation potentially exacerbates politico-social divisions within such a community, subverts its capacity for resistance, and renders it more vulnerable to large-scale dispossession and displacement; and second, that mega speculation exacerbates socio-territorial divisions and inequalities within the fabric of a wider metropolis. |

Sin embargo, un nuevo megaproyecto que se va a llevar a cabo en el barrio de Little Haiti de Miami representa una modificación capitalista estratégica de los anteriores procesos de desposesión y desplazamiento socioterritorial basados en la clase y la raza. Como argumentamos en este documento, el Magic City Innovation District de Little Haiti es emblemático para un auge global de la acumulación corporativa urbana financiarizada, que presenta nuevos desafíos para las comunidades locales. Nos preguntamos qué opciones políticas prácticas tiene una comunidad minoritaria predominantemente pobre para enfrentarse a estos retos. Nuestro análisis del Pequeño Haití de Miami sugiere dos conclusiones: en primer lugar, que la megaespeculación inmobiliaria exacerba potencialmente las divisiones político-sociales dentro de dicha comunidad, subvierte su capacidad de resistencia y la hace más vulnerable a la desposesión y el desplazamiento a gran escala; y en segundo lugar, que la megaespeculación exacerba las divisiones y desigualdades socioterritoriales dentro del tejido de una metrópolis más amplia.Miami não é um recém-chegado à história da gentrificação que remodelou o tecido urbano em cidades de todo o mundo.

Nossa discussão sobre o Pequeno Haiti de Miami sugere duas conclusões: primeiro, que a mega especulação imobiliária exacerba potencialmente as divisões políticosociais dentro da comunidade, subvertendo sua capacidade de resistência e a tornando-a mais vulnerável à expropriação e deslocamento em grande escala; e segundo, que a mega especulação exacerba as divisões sócio territoriais e as desigualdades dentro do tecido de uma metrópole mais ampla.Editorial Universidad de Sevilla2021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/130220https://doi.org/10.12795/astragalo.2021.i29.05reponame:idUS.
