📺 In this episode of the #MyEUIResearch video series, we spotlight Mafalda Batalha, a doctoral researcher at the EUI Department of Economics. 📌 Growing up in Lisbon and later moving to Florence, Mafalda witnessed firsthand the paradox of urban revitalization through tourism—cities becoming more vibrant and attractive, but also facing tensions like residential displacement and the erosion of local businesses. Her research investigates how short-term rental platforms like Airbnb are reshaping urban neighborhoods. Focusing on Florence, she studies residential migration patterns and the transformation of local commerce, examining how tourism pressure drives change not just within neighborhoods, but across entire cities. 🏘️ How does tourism alter who can afford to live in a city? What happens when grocery stores give way to souvenir shops? And how can policymakers strike a balance between economic opportunity and social equity? 🔍 Watch now to discover how Mafalda’s data-driven, collaborative research with the Comune di Firenze seeks to bring clarity to one of today’s most urgent urban debates—ensuring cities remain both welcoming and livable.
