The topic of the podcast's next episode is the impact of digital platforms - such as Airbnb - on the housing market, particularly the short-term rental sector. The episode's expert is Dr. Agustín Cocola-Gant from the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning at the University of Lisbon, whose research work explores topics such as urban studies, gentrification, tourism, short-term rentals, and Airbnb, in particularly the case of Barcelona and Lisbon.
Host Dr. Kristóf Gyódi, assistant professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences and DELab UW analyst asks his guest about issues such as: - the changes that platforms have introduced for rentals and buyers and the housing market, - the process of financialisation of homes and its negative effects on residents, - the history of the studied processes in European countries, - the network effects of the platformisation process, - the crisis of the new housing market generation, - the new rules introduced by the platforms that call into question that access to housing is a right and not a commodity, - the experience of expert research on Barcelona and Lisbon, and the negative effects of platformisation on residents, - solutions that have helped push the market in the right direction, - hopes that the European Union's planned regulation of platforms will make the short-term rental market more civilised.
