Abstract
Across the globe, the majority of the world’s population is living in cities, signifying a drastic shift from rural dwellings to living in urban spaces. This trend is predicted to continue, with 68% of the global population found in cities by 2050, according to the United Nations. In order to increase the quality of life in cities, several measures have been taken, including greening of cities. However, these measures disproportionately disadvantage lower socioeconomic groups, who have less access to green spaces, coining the concept of “green gentrification” or “eco-gentrification”. Citizen participation emerges as a crucial tool in mitigating these effects. This study examines how citizen participation can mitigate the negative effects of green gentrification, focusing on the Vancouver Plan. Findings reveal progress towards inclusivity but limited citizen influence. Addressing green gentrification demands equitable urban planning and enhanced citizen involvement. Genuine collaboration between authorities and residents is vital for sustainable urban development.
