Where do you draw a line between updating, cleaning up, improving infrastructure and amenities - and total change of image and population? What is the aim of this conference? To call a full stop to the whole Elephant regeneration? Or to go back to the drawing board? :(read: stasis for another fifteen years)? Like many revolutions, movements "against" frequently lack a proviso about "for". Down with v. Up With. I'm sceptical.

I don't know what gentrification is and I would need to be clear on that point before deciding For or Against it. Can you help me with that?
Until then, I'm tempted to consider "The Siege" as I would a post-modernist work of art...as a subjective event from which everyone will draw the conclusion they wish to.
