The conference will present a preview of the findings of a study commissioned by a network of Italian universities, coordinated by FULL – Future Urban Legacy Lab at the Politecnico di Torino, on the growth of Airbnb in major Italian cities between 2017 and 2024.
A detailed overview will be provided of the key characteristics of the short-term rental sector (from its prevalence to its economic performance, from its geographical distribution to the profiles of those managing the listings), illustrating how it has evolved over the years and outlining the situation in various Italian cities. Against the backdrop of the findings from the research, a discussion will take place on the main regulatory approaches in Italy and Europe, exploring their limitations, potential, constraints and effects.
Free admission. You can follow the conference online via this link.
