Geography of AirBnb in Barcelona and Lisbon: A comparative study
Publication . S. Garha, Nachatter; Botelho Azevedo, Alda
Over the last decade, Airbnb has emerged as the most important actor
in the short-term rental business worldwide. The spatial distribution of Airbnb accommodations
in a city is highly sensitive to the location of different spatial, socioeconomic, demographic,
and cultural factors, and therefore has the potential to increase existing and create
spatial inequalities in host cities. Drawing from the data from the Inside Airbnb website, the
2011 census of population and housing, the municipal registers, and Open Street Maps, this
article first measures and analyses the degree of penetration and spatial clustering (with
LISA statistics) of Airbnb listings in Barcelona and Lisbon. Then, it explores the spatial,
socioeconomic, demographic, and cultural determinants of the spatial clustering of accommodations
offered on Airbnb in both cities. Finally, it examines the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on the spread of Airbnb in both cities. Results show that Airbnb has penetrated
deeply into the central residential areas and around major tourist attractions, and it is deepening
spatial inequalities by benefitting mainly the upper income group of homeowners in
these neighbourhoods. Lastly, the recent COVID-19 pandemics has curtailed the spread
and changed the typology of accommodation offered on Airbnb.

The struggle for problematising housing (in Italy). Reflections from Naples, Turin and beyond
Publication . Tulumello, Simone
During the last 15 years, amid the global impacts of the economic crisis, austerity politics, and increasing centrality of real estate and construction for capitalism, housing has taken central stage in public and political debates globally. In Italy, the trajectory of housing politicisation has been quite peculiar. Despite a longstanding tradition of housing conflict and a complex geography of new mobilisations, housing has remained at the margins of national discussions. Seen through the lens of Foucauldian problematisation analysis, housing has not been acknowledged as a ‘problem’ in Italy. This article engages with the Italian peculiarity through a comparative study of housing problematisation—operationalised through the dimensions of framing, coalitions and scale. I compare two cities where analogous challenges intersect with very different housing regimes and political contexts: in Turin, the capacity of short-term housing policies to address pressing problems is mirrored by a lack of engagement by institutional and politicised actors; in Naples, in a housing regime defined by informal solutions, the relations among the local authorities and social movements have oscillated among dialogue, conflict, institutionalisation and pacification. By putting these cases in conversation through a generative, relational and multi-scalar lens, I discuss housing problematisation in a country, Italy,
characterised by deep regional asymmetries, regionally-specific housing regimes and a complex geography of housing conflict. By reconsidering the national case vis-à-vis broader dynamics, in conclusion, I also provide some takeaways for a reflection on the conditions, preconditions and efforts for scaling up the housing struggle.
Lisboa em transição profunda e desequilibrada. Habitação, imobiliário e política urbana no Sul da Europa e na era digital
Publication . Seixas, João; Tulumello, Simone; Allegretti, Giovanni
Lisboa encontra-se em transição. Ao sair de uma crise económica acompanhada por severas políticas de austeridade, encontra-se numa nova fase de dinamismo económico, mas sem conseguir inverter antigas e novas estruturas de desigualdade social e territorial. Este artigo, ao mostrar as recentes transformações do mercado imobiliário e da habitação na principal cidade portuguesa, bem como os movimentos sociais preocupados com o direito à habitação, questiona as articulações entre desenvolvimento local e modelos da nova economia global. A recente história de Lisboa é apresentada como caso paradigmático das disputas entre modelos pseudoliberais de desenvolvimento económico e urbano, e a paulatina formação de suas contestações locais, sobretudo sociais mas também institucionais e, decerto, crescentemente interligadas em redes internacionais.
‘Stay Home Without a Home’: Report from a webinar on the right to housing in Covid-19 lockdown times
Publication . Accornero, Guya; Harb, Mona; Magalhães, Alex F.; Santos, Felipe G.; Semi, Giovanni; Stein, Samuel; Semi, Giovanni; Tulumello, Simone
This Update reports from a webinar on the impacts of lockdown measures put in place globally amid the Covid-19 pandemic on the right to housing and linked political struggles. Three main threads emerged from the conversation: the impacts of the pandemic are deepening pre-existing housing inequalities, while governments’ responses are largely insufficient; activists and contentious actors worldwide are changing their framings and repertoires to adapt to lockdown measures and attempt to radicalize their action; possibilities, albeit limited, are opening for the construction of global
networks of struggle.
