Storefront offers a piercing analysis of the complex forces of commercial gentrification and its profound effects on urban communities. Steven Tuttle explores the critical intersection of space, economy, and race, illustrating how shifting commercial landscapes often serve to marginalise established residents and racialise common areas. By documenting these transitions, the book provides a necessary lens for understanding the power dynamics at play in the modern city. This insightful study challenges you to look beyond the surface of new developments and consider the human cost of economic progress. Whether you are a student of sociology, an urban researcher, or a concerned citizen, this book helps you grasp the urgent need for community-centred urban planning and the preservation of racialised spaces. Discover how everyday storefronts act as markers of broader societal change and learn how to advocate for more equitable urban environments.
