Resumo: “Creative cities” and “artistic neighborhoods” have become regular concepts within hegemonic narratives and practices related to centralized urban revitalization processes. Creativity is now sold as a symbol of status and the “creative city” has become a widespread trend common to contemporary cities. At the same time, artists and social movements use art and culture as an instrument of resistance, change and transformation of social relations, implementing in their practices the criticism of the neoliberal city. This paper discusses the links between (i) neoliberal culture-led revitalization strategies; (ii) artists and community groups; and (iii) gentrification. We show that in a free-market context, bottom-up artistic initiatives revalorize areas and the resulting increase in property values are appropriated by private investors, accelerating a process of gentrification.

Creativity is now sold as a symbol of status and the “creative city” has become a widespread trend common to contemporary cities. At the same time, artists and social movements use art and culture as an instrument of resistance, change and transformation of social relations, implementing in their practices the criticism of the neoliberal city. This paper discusses the links between (i) neoliberal culture-led revitalization strategies; (ii) artists and community groups; and (iii) gentrification. We show that in a free-market context, bottom-up artistic initiatives revalorize areas and the resulting increase in property values are appropriated by private investors, accelerating a process of gentrification.Les « villes créatives » et les « quartiers artistiques » sont devenus des concepts courants au sein de récits et de pratiques hégémoniques liés aux processus de revitalisation urbaine centralisés. La créativité est maintenant vendue comme le symbole d’un statut et la « ville créative » est devenue une tendance répandue commune aux villes contemporaines. Parallèlement, les artistes et les mouvements sociaux utilisent l’art et la culture comme un instrument de résistance, de changement et de transformation des relations sociales, mettant en œuvre dans leurs pratiques la critique de la ville néolibérale. Cet article examine les liens entre (i) les stratégies de revitalisation par le biais de politiques culturelles; (ii) les artistes et groupes communautaires; et (iii) la gentrification. Nous montrons que dans un contexte de libre marché, les initiatives artistiques ascendantes (bottom-up) revalorisent des zones et que l’augmentation de la valeur de la propriété qui en résulte est appropriée par les investisseurs privés, ce qui accélère le processus de gentrification.Centre de sociologie des organisations (CSO)Repositório da Universidade de LisboaEstevens, AnaCocola-Gant, AgustínCalvo, Daniel MaletMatos, Filipe2021-02-01T15:49:57Z20202020-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/46102engEstevens, A., Cocola-Gant, A., Calvo, D.
