EIther you don't know what gentrification means, or OP is worded poorly, or both because HiddenFremen.
Gentrification in the WH sense is already happening, and was happening before Hyperion even happened. If we look at the definition of gentrification:
Merriam Webster wrote:
influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents
Except since this is a video game, replace "affluent people" with large entities and "poorer residents" with "smaller entities". The "deteriorating areas" part doesn't really apply here, as that would most likely refer to low class WHs, which we know not many people wish to live in. The definition works with that swap, but also with rich and poor, as the larger power blocks are often a fair bit richer than their smaller counterparts. The gentrification of WH space would effectively mean corps continuously solidifying into larger entities so that they can be large enough to protect themselves against the threat of eviction. The result of this, though, is far more empty holes as small corps move to merge with larger ones. You would most likely end up with stalemates when two large entities fight, and the main deciding factor being the friends that either side brings.
What you'd actually want is the reverse gentrification of WH space, this being larger corps splitting into smaller entities and populating many of the empty holes that exist. However, since people want to win fights and not just whelp T3 fleets, they naturally conglomerate into the large blob entities that we currently have.
Unless of course you mean the repopulation of WH space... If you want that you should probably keep what you have there already instead of getting rid of it vOv

Don't use big words to try and seem smart if you don't know what they mean.

Like Borschty said, split players up. Break down the massive corps into smaller entities so that people will be more likely to fight. Right now, if a small corp rolls into HK or LZHWK, it'll be an instant close. If either of those groups was a more manageable size, then there's a higher chance they'd fight.

You get brownie points if it was a Belgian drank out of the proper glass.
