The Challenge of Gentrification

We ask what happens to cities around the world when developers move in.

We ask what happens to cities around the world when developers move in. Professor Loretta Lees is chair of human geography at the University of Leicester, and offers her perspective on gentrification. And economist turned activist Chris Chaukley discusses his initiative to help the public provide community land for people in Bristol, in the west of England. Also in the programme, the US economy generated 196,000 jobs last month. Our reporter in New York explains that was higher than had been expected. Plus Britain's Prince Harry has called for addictive video games like Fortnite to be banned. We get reaction from Jodie Azhar, chief executive of games studio TeazleCat.
