Last Ride Through Regent
There is a negative impact that gentrification has on spaces in Regent Park. Narratives of Black boides are explored to examine their experiences of gentrification in their community. Gentrification results in the displacement of community members, which deteriorates the bonds created to support the social issues observed in the community.
