The application of selective public policies and strategic public-private-partnerships has deeply transformed the social composition of the historic city centre of Madrid. By focusing upon creativity, cultural production and retail as key factors to attract new lifestyles, the city centre was converted into a highly merchandised and segregated space. Based on two case studies, this article analyses the politics of gentrification applied in Madrid for the last two decades.

Keywords: Gentrification, Creativity, Retail, Madrid, Lavapiés, Triball.
