Aguilera, Thomas: Housing under Platform Capitalism

"Housing Under Platform Capitalism offers a compelling analysis of how European city governments tackle short-term rentals and sheds light on the connections between platform capitalism and housing financialization. It reveals diverse policy responses, making it a novel and essential contribution to urban political economy."--Manuel B. Aalbers, Professor of Human Geography, KU Leuven, and author of The Financialization of Housing

"Combining robust theoretical insights with a rich empirical comparative analysis of European cities, this book offers a compelling behind-the-scenes look at short-term rental regulation. Essential reading for scholars and practitioners navigating this contentious urban phenomenon."--Daniel Kübler, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Centre for Democracy Studies, University of Zurich

"Housing Under Platform Capitalism is a brilliant and timely book on the politics of regulating platform-mediated short-term rentals. Its robust comparative framework will be useful for those working on urban governance under platform capitalism in many parts of the world beyond European cities."--Romola Sanyal, Associate Professor of Urban Geography, London School of Economics and Political Science
