The process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process. 

The process of making someone or something

more refined, polite, or respectable.

My neighborhood is going through that right now. The park that I have in my presentation was remade to look more improved. I took a picture of my neighborhood so that I could show y’all what’s happening here, soon the apartments are going to be broken down into new and improved houses.

    “Let’s sneak into the construction site.” This is what we say every night when coming from the park. We started adventuring there because we saw that there was an opening. It was a lot of fun observing there, we did lots of things like play hide-in-seek or even entering the machines. It was lots of of fun and fright, lots of fun hopping in the machines and fright because of the police cars that would drive by occasionally. Overall it was extremely enjoyable to experience the park and whole neighborhood.
