Gentrification demands updated frameworks to assess the impact of some major global trends on the local populations’ access to housing. Short-term accommodation using digital platforms in previously gentrified central urban areas is playing a significant role in outlining a new wave of ‘transnational gentrification’ in a number of global cities. Having undergone classical patterns of gentrification over the last two decades, the central district of Madrid and its surroundings are showing patterns of a new wave of gentrification in a context of economic crisis, planetary rent gaps, increasing global tourism and an increase in rental prices in central areas that may be related to the emergence of short-term rentals – making Madrid a relevant case for depicting transnational gentrification in the Southern European capitals. Based on empirical data, this work explores the holiday rental supply in Madrid over three years (2015–2018), verifying a strong association between the growth in tourist arrivals, the settlement of new residents from wealthy economic backgrounds and increasing rental prices. Since this process is accompanied by deregulation of local rental contracts and the growth of transnational Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), even in some of the most vulnerable areas located beyond the M-30 ring road, this wave of gentrification has the potential to produce displacement and substitution of residents.
Access to housing is one of the most relevant issues in people's life trajectories. In Spain, such access has changed significantly since the Great Recession due to the increase in the importance of private rentals and rents rise. This article describes and analyzes the dynamics of the increase in rents and its sociospatial effects, in detail and territorial organization for the city of Madrid (2015Madrid ( -2018. To this end, it uses innovative statistical sources and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze the territorial unfolding and the socio-spatial consequences of this new residential model. The results show the exclusionary character of the urban center, which displaces the most precarious fractions of the most qualified groups, increasing the residential pressure on the popular peripheries of the city. This dynamic reveals the incidence of a new wave of gentrification supported by the rent bubble, a source of uncertain residential growth in the urban peripheries.

Connexity and evolution: A methodologic approach to the resilience concept.Iñigo Lorente Riverola ♠ Fecha de superación del Tribunal Fin de Máster: 16.07.2015 Tutor: Javier Ruiz Sánchez Resumen Los constantes cambios en los modos de producción y las relaciones de poder entre lugares, e individuos están sin duda entre las solicitaciones externas más significativas ejercidas sobre los sistemas de asentamiento que, afectando a sus estructuras funcionales de un modo posiblemente catastrófico, los conduce hacia procesos de auge o declive de manera desigual.La evolucionabilidad de los sistemas de asentamiento está muy determinada por la resiliencia de sus estructuras físicas y lógicas, en buena parte analizables mediante la topología de red. Esta topología debe sobrepasar los aspectos materiales del espacio, incorporando sus dimensiones temporal e informacional. Planteo para ello la idea de "conexidad" como variable que aúna la posibilidad materialidad, la probabilidad, y legitimidad de uso de un determinado vínculo topológico.Estudiando las transformaciones estructurales producidas en la comarca del Sobrarbe (Huesca) por un poder político y económico nacional durante el siglo XX -inductoras de su declive actual-, se aportan algunos aspectos clave que pueden ayudar a estructurar la evolución resiliente de los sistemas de asentamiento. Palabras clave AbstractConstant changes in the production modes and power relationships between individuals, objects, and places, are among the most crucial external stresses that the settlement systems have to face. Insofar they affect their functional structures; they unevenly drive them to processes of either growth or shrinkage.Urban evolvability is well dependent on the resilience of both physical and logical structures that articulate a settlement system subjected to locally perceived adverse dynamics. This can be analyzed using network topology tools adapted for the purpose. Those tools should exceed the materiality of social space by incorporating its temporary and informational dimensions. Thus, I suggest the "connexity" as a variable that hinges upon the materiality, the probability and legitimacy of exploiting a topological vertex.Taking into account the socio-spatial changes produced in the Sobrarbe (Huesca) region from the beginning of the 20th century to its current shrinkage, this paper provides an approach to understand some stability conditions that could enable human settlements to be evolvable systems.
