Avalanches in an extended Schelling model: an explanation of urban gentrification

Diego Ortega, Javier Rodríguez-Laguna, Elka Korutcheva

In this work we characterize sudden increases in the land price of certain urban areas, a phenomenon causing gentrification, via an extended Schelling model. An initial price rise…
