PhD | The Urban Opportunites and Challenges of Airbnb

PhD-Candidate: Jelke Bosma | The Urban Opportunites and Challenges of Airbnb

This project explores the relation between urban inequality and Airbnb. Through a comparative ethnographic study, looking at Airbnb in Amsterdam, Berlin and New York, it questions how Airbnb allows some people to create value in novel ways (including hosts and businesses offering services for hosts) whereas it excludes others, from these valorisation processes but also from the neighborhoods where they take place.
