Gentrification has continued to be criticized by academics for its contributions to rent hikes, closing of essential businesses, and displacement of marginalized residents in cities. In Canada, where a cost-of-living crisis impacts cities like Toronto, one may wonder: How can we aspire for a more equitable future? This research visualizes existing system of gentrification within Toronto, Canada, annotating the shared drivers between actants, and inquires whether a plausible narrative for de-gentrification can be crafted from this synthesis. Using literature and research from a range of disciplines, it employs various socio-cultural frameworks and visualization tools such as Actant and System Mapping to identify areas of opportunity within existing systems. Contributions of this research include visualizing the system and proposing possibilities of where the system can slow down if provided the proper resources. Secondarily, this work adds to the discourse of gentrification and de-gentrification within a Canadian context, offering an expanded socio-cultural understanding of the terms.
