Abstract This paper examines two potential lacunae in understanding how low income residents experience contemporary state-led gentrification using a case study of neighbourhood restructuring in Salford, UK 2004 - 2014. The first derives from the symbolic politics preparing the ground for neighbourhood and housing demolition. The second relates to the blighted social landscape which emerges with the subsequent stalling of this project. A is adopted in order to disrupt the linear policy temporalities that much qualitative gentrification research tends to reproduce. We see how state-led neighbourhood restructuring does not simply displace, but carries residents from transfers their struggle into limbo. As such, the paper demarcates challenges and opportunities for resident mobilisation inherent in a vacillating urban renewal programme, powerful in its inception but which has since L 2013) in light of global and municipal fiscal crises.
