Abstract

This study investigates the spatial dynamics of gentrification and upward filtering in Taipei City, a metropolis characterized by Taiwan's highest population density and acute housing affordability challenges. Examining the interplay between financial precarity and population displacement, this research analyzes distinct patterns of neighborhood change within this dense urban context. Comparative analysis reveals that areas experiencing upward filtering, marked by increased real estate transaction volumes, exhibit a stronger correlation between market activity and rent prices, highlighting the direct impact of real estate dynamics on affordability. Conversely, the observed decline in high-income and highly educated residents in other areas suggests potential displacement pressures. Despite these shifts, the absence of strong spatial autocorrelation between real estate transactions and rent prices indicates the significant influence of localized factors, such as zoning policies, on rent price dynamics. Bivariate spatial autocorrelation analysis further underscores the interconnectedness of demographic changes, particularly the clustering of high-income and highly educated populations in upward-filtering areas. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of gentrification and upward filtering within Taipei’s unique urban landscape, providing insights for policies aimed at mitigating financial precarity and fostering equitable urban development.
