Short term rental accommodation
Platform-Enabled Informality
Problem, research strategy, and findings: Digital platforms have transformed housing practices and enabled new markets to emerge.Here we report on a study in which we examined these practices and their implications for planning, focusing particularly on low-cost and informal rental accommodation.With reference to Australia's three largest cities (Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane), we investigated the range and scale of accommodation types advertis…
Cultural tourism and rural community resilience
There is a lack of literature on resilience about heritage conservation and tourism. • Tourism development has severe impacts on rural heritage settlements and community. • A framework is proposed for tourism and rural heritage community resilience. • The framework is applied on a rural vernacular village, Behramkale in Türkiye. • Resilience is to absorb tourism-driven changes without altering heritage identity
Discounted housing? Understanding shared rental markets under platformisation
Low-income earners and others facing housing market barriers have long sought to save costs by sharing. Potentially a release valve in constrained markets, the share sector is poorly understood due to the difficulty of tracing informal negotiations between cohabiting households. However, the rise of online accommodation platforms opens new opportunities to view these hidden arrangements while also propelling new practices under the broader financ…
Supplementary rental supply? The digital market for low-cost and informal housing in Sydney, Australia
This article examines real estate platforms and the data they generate to provide new insights into housing markets and practices, focusing on lower-cost and informal sectors, where building or rental regulations are often bypassed or contravened. We examine online listings advertised in Sydney, one of the most expensive cities in Australia and the world, compiling data from four dominant platforms – Realestate.com.au, Flatmates.com.au, Gumtree.c…
Measuring “sustainable development” in vernacular settlements
Purpose The main objective of this paper is to critically assess sustainable development in the context of Behramkale, a vernacular village in Türkiye. Design/methodology/approach Vernacular Heritage Sustainable Architecture analysis framework has been adopted to understand and assess vernacular architecture and sustainable development in Behramkale. Findings The vernacular design of the old Behramkale settlement has shown more sustainable charac…
From flatmates to realestate? Platform capitalism and the transformation of share housing
The rise of platform capitalism has been instrumental in facilitating capital accumulation at scale through the commodification of previously untradable services and spaces. Digital real estate technology-based platforms or ‘PropTech’ (Property Technology) have transformed how housing is produced, traded, and managed, augmenting existing and creating new housing markets in ways that are still evolving. While ‘home-sharing’ platform Airbnb has bec…
Breaking the rules? Informal housing, urban deregulation and secondary dwellings in Australia
Secondary dwellings, from ‘backyard’ and basement units to converted garages or ‘granny flats’ are increasingly viewed as a potential source of lower cost rental accommodation. However, in many cities of the so-called global north, secondary dwellings are restricted under local planning rules designed to maintain lower density residential neighbourhoods. This article examines the outcome of planning reform to legalise secondary dwellings as a hou…

Pop-up’ tourism or ‘invasion’? Airbnb in coastal Australia
The global rise of peer to peer ‘home-sharing’ platforms such as Airbnb has accelerated negative forms of ‘touristification’ in major cities, often defying local regulation. But less is known about how such platforms affect regions beyond or peripheral to major population centres. This article addresses this question, examining 12 case-study communities in coastal Australia. Through in-depth interviews and focus groups with local stakeholders and…

Insurgent planning practice is an emerging idea for counter-hegemonic urban planning in the Global South, derived (generalized) from empirical work on specific southern contexts (Watson, V. 2013.
