Abstract：

In the post-industrial era, more and more cities are upgrading and “greening” through the redevelopment of unused and abandoned land and largescale green infrastructure construction projects. The book Green Gentrification: Urban Sustainability and the Struggle for Environmental Justice written by Kenneth A. Gould and Tammy L. Lewis was published in this background. This paper combs and interprets the book from three aspects: the basic concept and connotation of green gentrification, generation mechanism and mitigation strategy of green gentrification. It also reviews and summarizes the research progress of green gentrification in the West. On this basis, the new trend of green gentrification research in China is proposed from four aspects: (1) testing the local applicability of the connotation of green gentrification; (2) evaluating the performance and effects of urban green gentrification; (3) focusing on the process and mechanism of green gentrification; (4) proposing pathways to solve the problem of urban green gentrification.
