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
