Often described as the « most politically charged » term in urban geography (Davidson and Lees, 2009), gentrification has been discussed in British newspapers through more or less conciliatory discourses over time. This scientific paper investigates the evolution of discourses on gentrification in British newspapers between 1988 and 2021. It questions the occurrence of the term and multiplication of discourses over three decades, then analyze their more or less critical view. In order to do so, a corpus of 1934 articles taken from fourteen newspapers was analyzed quantitatively then qualitatively: through computer methods (lexicometry, topic models), then by manual work for a contextualization of the tresults. It appears that discourses on gentrification were rather conciliatory before 2010, then were much criticized after this date, related to the emergence of new goals linked to global economic changes.
