Through a literature review, various scales of mechanisms that contributed to gentrification in the historical, social, political, and environmental context of Toronto were examined. Then, insights from local city planners in various capacities were collected through semistructured interviews. The resulting framework recommends context-specific guidelines for studying ecological gentrification, which include paying heed to planning policies, displacement patterns and mechanisms, factors impacting neighbourhood stability and economic development, and community engagement and inclusivityenGreenspace planningMental healthGentrificationGreen developmentUrban social justiceResearch Paper
