British sociologist Ruth Glass was first to use "gentrification" in its current sense. In England, landed gentry denoted the social class, consisting of gentlemen (and gentlewomen, as they were at that time known). The word gentrification derives from gentry-which comes from the Old French word genterise, "of gentle birth" (14th century) and "people of gentle birth" (16th century).
Historians say that gentrification took place in ancient Rome and in Roman Britain, where large villas were replacing small shops by the 3rd century, AD.

In extreme cases, gentrification can be brought on by a prosperity bomb. In addition to these potential benefits, gentrification can lead to population migration and displacement. Further steps are increased investments in a community and the related infrastructure by real estate development businesses, local government, or community activists and resulting economic development, increased attraction of business, and lower crime rates. The gentrification process is typically the result of increasing attraction to an area by people with higher incomes spilling over from neighboring cities, towns, or neighborhoods. Gentrification often sees a shift in a neighborhood's racial or ethnic composition and average household income as housing and businesses become more expensive and resources that had not been previously accessible are extended and improved. Gentrification often increases the economic value of a neighborhood, but the resulting demographic displacement may itself become a major social issue. It is a common and controversial topic in urban politics and planning. Gentrification is the process of changing the character of a neighborhood through the influx of more affluent residents and businesses.
