Studentification—the concentration of students within a particular neighbourhood and associated impacts—represents a “generationed” or age-segregated housing submarket defined by a distinct life course stage. I analyse this submarket through the lens of David Harvey’s concept of class monopoly rent, a critical theory of residential submarkets, drawing on semi-structured interviews with key informants and students in Waterloo—Canada’s largest private purpose-built student accommodation market. Planning interventions, real estate strategies, and neighbourhood politics have intertwined to enable the extraction of class monopoly rent from a clearly delineated student housing submarket. I show how studentification, and the age segregation it entails, is produced by and serves to reproduce capitalist urbanisation, illustrating temporal power dynamics of rent. A radical political response to the impacts of studentification on students and other residents alike must therefore adopt an intergenerational perspective that confronts class and life course dimensions of the process simultaneously.

学生住房子市场的年龄隔离、代际和阶级垄断租金

学生化——学生集中在一个特定的社区和相关影响——代表了一个由不同生命历程阶段定义的“世代”或按年龄隔离的住房子市场。我通过大卫·哈维 (David Harvey) 的阶级垄断租金概念（住宅子市场的批判理论）的镜头分析了这个子市场，并借鉴了对滑铁卢（加拿大最大的私人专用学生住宿市场）的关键线人和学生的半结构化访谈。规划干预、房地产策略和邻里政治交织在一起，使阶级垄断租金能够从明确划分的学生住房子市场中提取。我展示了学生化及其带来的年龄隔离是如何由资本主义城市化产生并服务于再生产的，说明租金的时间权力动态。因此，对学生化对学生和其他居民的影响的激进政治反应必须采取代际视角，同时面对过程的阶级和生命课程维度。
