Gentrification can come from deliberate government action, and that is combatted in the same way any government action is combatted. Specifics change in different jurisdictions. [EDIT: grammar]
Gentrification can also come from enough individuals freely moving into an area and driving up housing costs while at the same time making an area more desirable — creating a sort of feedback loop. You can’t really combat that without an authoritarian government. [EDIT: typo. Dunno where my mind was when I originally typed this out]
