ABSTRACTViews on gentrification and intersections with health and well-being were explored via semi-structured interviews with nineteen residents (≥60 years) in Porto (Portugal). Participants acknowledged that gentrification led to noticeable transformations in recreational areas, food/beverage establishments, housing, and commercial activities. Participants had contrasting views on gentrification-induced transformations. Some acknowledged positive contributions, while others expressed concerns about higher living costs, scarcity of affordable housing, weakening social cohesion, and aggravated vulnerability to mental health issues. Several participants claimed that the changes, mainly concerning commerce and recreation, seemed directed towards youth. Policymaking driving gentrification should consider older locals’ needs to promote better health. |
