Housing Under Platform Capitalism: The Contentious Regulation of Short-Term Rentals in European Cities
The book Housing Under Platform Capitalism: The Contentious Regulation of Short-Term Rentals in European Cities makes a crucial contribution to comparative urban politics in the twenty-first century, investigating the capacity of local states to govern housing markets and platform capitalism in an era of globalized human and capital flows.
Speaker:
Francesca Artioli. Her work focuses on the material production of the city and its evolutions, from a perspective of political sociology of public policy and collective action. On the one hand, she is interested in the transformation of urban planning and development policies under the effect of the reforms of public property management and the intensification of financial constraints; on the other hand, more recently, she is working on the regulation and conflicts around digital platforms and short-term rentals in European cities.
