AB One of the most troubling aspects of cultural studies, is the lack of comparative cases to expandthe horizons of micro-sociology. Based on this, the present paper explores the effects of gentrification inone neighborhood, Riverwest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA. This essay-review explores the role of arts,not only as creating an image of neighborhoods, but as a mechanism to prevent the commoditization ofspaces. Riverwest has never been commoditized as a tourist-product like many other tourist-sites. Theconcept of patrimony and heritage are placed under the lens of scrutiny in this investigation. To someextent, some cities are produced to be consumed while others do not, is one of the intriguing points thisresearch explores.
