cification
Cification refers to the process by which certain areas or communities become overwhelmingly dominated by a single demographic or cultural group, often to the perceived exclusion of others. This term is frequently used in discussions about gentrification and urban development. The core idea is that as a neighborhood changes, the original residents or a specific cultural identity can become less prevalent, leading to a transformation of the area's character.
The term "cification" suggests a homogenization where the distinctiveness of a place is diluted or replaced.
