It intends to contribute to a literature in urban studies on the subject of gentrification, creative economics, immaterial work and city marketing using case studies in the South of the World. It uses a qualitative methodology based on mapping techniques, video interviews and photographic cartography of the areas in order to establish an approach which would be able to point out the specific reasons for this phenomenon to arise in two post-colonial cities.
