“…En las ciudades diversas (y generalmente más grandes), la distribución de habilidades, los salarios y la desigualdad pueden ser mayores (De la Roca & Puga, 2017). Finalmente, hay otras razones más allá de las puramente económicas que también explican la desigualdad urbana: por ejemplo, algunos autores han apuntado a factores institucionales, al observarse políticas que discriminan mayormente a los más desfavorecidos (Goldsmith & Blakely, 2010), entre las que se incluyen las que promueven la gentrificación del espacio urbano a favor de los más pudientes (Cocola-Gant, 2019).…”

El crecimiento de la desigualdad en España tiene una dimensión territorial que va más allá de las diferencias entre regiones. Durante los periodos recesivos las ciudades reciben elevados flujos de población, aunque a costa de ampliar las diferencias de renta dentro de las ciudades y, en consecuencia, aumentando la desigualdad. En este artículo repasamos la literatura sobre las causas y consecuencias de la desigualdad, y visualizamos la desigualdad de ingresos en las Áreas Urbanas Funcionales españolas.

“…Consequently, due to its very flexible mechanism, the spatial concentration typical for the Airbnb phenomenon is slowly shifting a whole former multifunctional city center to a homogeneous tourism-oriented area [9]. According to the typical space limitation of the housing market, development of the short-term rental market leads to a change of property value as well as costs and quality of living that finally forces displacement of former residents [40]. Therefore, the ongoing touristification eventually results in the destruction of the local community.…”

The Undisrupted Growth of the Airbnb Phenomenon between 2014–2020. The Touristification of European Cities before the COVID-19 Outbreak

As a result of the Airbnb eruption, not only has the character of the short-term rental market been completely transformed, but the decades long growth in tourism has also been further accelerated. Therefore, due to the new demands of the tourism economy, the major shift in the usage of historic city centers occurred–the process of ‘touristification’, that results in the emergence of its new, unsustainable form. Despite the significance of those circumstances, there is a lack of any broader quantitative research that would present the dynamic of the Airbnb phenomenon. Therefore, thanks to the recognition of AirDNA data, such statistical analysis has become possible. The goal of this paper is to investigate the Airbnb’s growth trajectories—data that bind together a market dimension of the growth in tourism and the community aspect of an urban change caused by its impact—from the perspective of its spatial distribution across Europe between 2014 and 2020. As a result, it was possible to follow the Airbnb phenomenon during its undisrupted period of growth—from its sudden eruption, further spread, and potential future after the COVID-19 outbreak—all together with its logarithmic character, concentration form, and momentum of already reached economic equilibrium.

“…In this scope, many scholars have worked on these types and extended their content; moreover, they also identified new types of gentrification (Cocola-Gant, 2019). These are rural gentrification derived from the increasing attraction of the natural environment for high-middle class occupants (Phillips, 2005), studentification including the development of special regions for students only (Smith & Holt, 2007), and tourism gentrification based on the transformation of residential areas to attractive zones for visitors (Gotham, 2005;Cocola-Gant, 2018). In addition, these different gentrification types can lead to the occurrence of each other in time, and the mutual relationship between tourism and commercial gentrification can be given as an example (Gotham, 2005).…”

“…While some researchers have attempted to identify gentrification in their perspectives (Hammet, 1984;Smith & Williams, 1986;Ley, 1992;Kempen & Weesep, 1994;Bondi, 1999;Kennedy & Leonard, 2001;Atkinson, 2003;Bostic & Martin, 2003, Cocola-Gant, 2018, others have examined the main reasons, actors, and driving forces behind the concept (Wheaton,1977;Kern, 1981;Lees, 1996;Ley, 1986;Aalbers, 2019 ). In addition to the investigations into the concepts, processes, and dimensions of gentrification, many scholars have also concentrated on its physical, social, economic, functional, and cultural effects on the existing environment (Sampaio, 2002;Billig & Churchman, 2003;Musterd & Ostendorf, 2005;Cameron & Coaffee, 2005).…”

The gentrification process has been examined by sociologists, urban planners, geographers and many other professionals since the 1970s. However, despite a great deal of research into the concept, process, and other dimensions of gentrification, there are few studies which consider the importance of the perspective and experiences of residents and users. This paper focuses on the gentrification process and its impact on the nongentrifier residents of the Akaretler neighborhood of Beşiktaş, an area which was transformed following a major restoration project 10 years ago. In-depth interviews were conducted with long-term residents and business owners to investigate how they evaluate the changes in their neighborhood as well as the positive and negative impacts of gentrification on their lives. According to the findings, while the majority of respondents acknowledged the physical success of the restoration project, some of them also pointed out the negative economic, social, and cultural outcomes it has raised over the past 10 years. The outstanding negative issues are social integration difficulties, the lack of affordable properties, changes to property functions, and cultural contrast.
