Abstract: This study explores gentrification and displacement of vulnerable residents that may be happening in the Denver neighborhoods of Globeville and Elyria-Swansea. These neighborhoods contain an underprivileged, mostly Latino population. They have endured poverty, poor street connectivity, substandard sidewalks and lights, and vehicular pollution. A series of public projects are planned for these neighborhoods, including a major expansion to Interstate 70, a renovation of the National Western Center, and construction of new commuter rail lines with three new stations in Globeville and Elyria-Swansea. These projects may stimulate gentrification with displacement of underprivileged residents in these neighborhoods. These projects will also displace Globeville and Elyria-Swansea residents through the demolition of homes and businesses in the way of these projects
