Abstract

ABSTRACTSince the 1980s, artists have been studied asagents of urban gentrification. Well establishedtheories and case studies have provided numerousevidences of the role of artists as initiators of thegentrification process in working-class neighborhoods.From a productive-side perspective, placing anemphasis on the rent-gap and land development, aswell as consumption-side perspective, analyzing thefeatures of individuals, art production and artists havebeen identified as a source of initial gentrification.Complementary theorizations have studied the secondwave of displacement produced by the massivearrival of private capital, which often has affectedthe artists themselves. The present paper adds to thebody of literature than identifies the public sector asanother key agent of gentrification. It is examinedby exploring the experience of a traditional workingclass neighbourhood in Barcelona (Spain) which hasundergone a dramatic urban regeneration process ledby the city council and that has affected groups ofartists in a very different ways.Key words: public policy, gentrification, artist,new economy, Barcelona. RESUMENDesde los años 1980, los artistas han sido estudiadoscomo agentes de gentrificación urbana. Diferentesteorías consolidadas y estudios de caso hanproporcionado numerosas evidencias del papel delos artistas como iniciadores del proceso de gentrificaciónen barrios de clase obrera. Desde el punto devista productivo, haciendo énfasis en el diferencialde renta del suelo, así como desde el punto de vistade consumo, haciendo énfasis en las característicasde los individuos, la presencia de artistas ha sidoidentificada como una fuente inicial de gentrificación.Otras teorías complementarias han estudiado laoleada de desplazamientos producidos por la masivallegada de capital privado, que a menudo ha afectadoa algunos de los propios artistas. En el presente documentose presenta un enfoque teórico que identificaal sector público como agente clave de gentrificación.En concreto se explora la experiencia del barrio deEl Poblenou en Barcelona, el cual ha experimentadoun drástico proceso de regeneración urbana lideradopor el ayuntamiento y que ha afectado a grupos deartistas de diferentes modos.Palabras clave: política pública, gentrificación,artista, nueva economía, Barcelona
