Spillover of urban gentrification and changing suburban poverty in the Amsterdam metropolis

Abstract

Suburbanisation appears to be reviving in the beginning of the 21st century. It has once again become an important force driving suburban growth. However, in contrast with 20th-century suburbanisation, the current phase might be better understood through the spillovers of urban gentrification and suburbanisation of poverty that are happening while the core city continues to grow. Using a multilevel binomial regression model on all moving households in the metropolitan region around Amsterdam, this paper shows that movers from Amsterdam are clearly urban oriented when moving out of the city. High-income households dominate the suburbanisation towards neighbourhoods near the city and to relatively urban residential neighbourhoods from the pre-war period. These are also neighbourhoods with sharp house price increases. This reveals a spillover of the urban gentrification process beyond the core city borders. Suburban in-migration of low-income households from the city has also increased and is more oriented to neighbourhoods where affordable housing is accessible.
