Informal urban regeneration as a way out of the crisis? Airbnb in Athens and its effects on space and society
This paper explores the effects of the Airbnb short-term rentals in Athens, against the background of the continuing socio-economic crisis and the substantial rise of urban tourism. The Airbnb practice emerges as a major transformative force of urban space, economy and society, which can be neither utterly condemned nor fully celebrated. The effects of the Airbnb phenomenon are found to be both positive and negative, including – on the one hand –…
“Live Like a Lifelong Tourist”? The Contradicting Realities of Finnish Offshore Service Workers in Athens
Contrasting the mass out-migration of the younger populace following the economic crisis in Greece and the simultaneous large inflow of refugees, the city of Athens has lately become an attractive place for tourists and lifestyle migrants.

Over the last 20 years, urban areas in general and Athens in particular have become ethnically and culturally much more diverse. Scholars often describe migrants’ residential and entrepreneurial settlement in cities through narrow terms, focusing either on migrants’ ‘ethnic’ characteristics or on merely economic factors. According to…
