Since, 1980s, academics used to deal with gentrification as a haphazard process. While on 2000s, gentrification is no longer perceived as a haphazard process but rather a planned process. As urban neighbourhoods exposed to gentrification, physical, economic, social and cultural changes take place. Gentrification can also process reversely named as “Degentrification”. This paper tackles the problem of what Lee (1996) called “Geography of Gentrification”, trying to understand the dilemma of how gentrification evolves within neighbourhoods. Moreover, this paper explores the application of the gentrification indicators developed by Kennedy, M., & Leonard, P. (April 2001) on the historic city of Cairo.
