The service transition as double fix: Mass low-end employment, gendered care economies, and the limits of global growth
This paper advances a geographic research agenda for the service transition, the global shift from manufacturing and agriculture toward services. Drawing on feminist geography and economic history, we show how low-end services expand across the Global North and South because they operate as a “double fix”: they absorb surplus labor to stabilize mass employment while sustaining strained systems of social reproduction. Our framework explains the co…
Horizons in the Housing Struggle
We are living through a polycrisis, a multidimensional, interlinked series of capitalism's structural problems emerging worldwide. Unfolding genocides, wars and armed conflicts, Western democratic models in crisis and fascism on the rise, labor struggles increasing, climate change and related disasters growing, and the looming environmental collapse... The list is long and illustrates the ongoing and irresoluble conflict between capital and life.…
Refining concepts: Gentrification, touristification and financialization in Andalusian cities
Research on gentrification and touristification has proliferated in tourism-led urban economies. Most studies have illustrated the process at different latitudes, scales and depths, but advances in urban theory have been scarce. By opening a dialogue about financialization as a crucial phenomenon interrelated with urban and tourism changes from a political economy standpoint, we can amplify, elucidate and refine conceptualizations through urban c…
Something went wrong”: Introduction to the special issue on gentrification and touristification in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula
All our eggs in one basket’: Touristification and displacement amidst the pandemic in Seville, Spain
Touristification refers to the multi-dimensional transformation of an area due to severe and rapid tourism intensification, which can harm that place's inhabitants in different ways. The activity’s boom in the 2010s brought about an exponential increase in short-term tourist rentals (STRs) in traditionally non-tourist areas across cities worldwide, triggering or expanding displacement dynamics. The study delves into the connections between touris…
When tourism disrupts it all: An approach to the landscapes of touristification
Touristification refers to an intense tourism expansion and appropriation in a specific area due to the activity’s rapid growth in a short period of time. COVID-19 meant a halt to touristification disruption of urban life—affecting housing markets, cultural expressions, public spaces, or the environment—that is growing again as global mobilities have recently resumed. In cities that have become important tourist destinations, touristification int…
The Political Economy of Housing Investment in the Short‐Term Rental Market: Insights from Urban Portugal
Short‐term rentals (STRs) emerged as holiday accommodations, disrupting the hospitality industry in the decade before COVID‐19. Mainstream explanations for their growth revolved around digital tourism platforms like Airbnb as market disruptors and the sharing economy rationale. At the same time, critical scholars explored the capitalisation of greater rent gaps in urban central locations. However, these explanations are insufficient to explain th…
The Housing Question a century and a half later: Notes from New York City
New York City serves as an entry point for a brief reflection on today’s housing question. Drawing on Friedrich Engels’ inspiring work in the late 19th century, it is argued that some issues he pointed out are still present and have become endemic to the capitalist city, while others have emerged amidst recent economic and health crises. In the US economic growth machine and in one of the global capitals, working-class, vulnerable, and unemployed…
Who is the city for? Overtourism, lifestyle migration and social sustainability
Seville, Spain’s fourth largest city and the capital of Andalusia, is one of the most visited cities in the country and increasingly in Europe. Tourism has traditionally been an important sector for the urban economy, but after the 2008 financial crash it has become the city’s main source of income. Tourist numbers have soared over the last decade and they are likely to keep growing now that the Lonely Planet has labelled Seville the best city to…
Overtourism, place alienation and the right to the city: Insights from the historic centre of Seville, Spain
Increasing international travel flows across the planet have drawn attention to socio-spatial justice concerning the impact of tourism and transnational gentrification in cities. We suggest that the growth of tourists and lifestyle migrants can potentially shrink or even deprive a social right to the city. The early work of philosopher and sociologist Henri Lefebvre, particularly The Right to the City (1968), offer valuable elements to understand…
Paisajes de la turistificación: Una aproximación metodológica a través del caso de Sevilla
La turistificación se define como la apropiación física y simbólica de un territorio por una fuerte intensificación de la actividad turística en un breve lapso. Según estudios recientes, el proceso impacta con diferente ritmo y grado de profundidad sobre el mercado de la vivienda, las diferentes expresiones culturales, el espacio y la salud públicas o los recursos naturales. En las ciudades que se han convertido en importantes destinos turísticos…
Gentrification, transnational gentrification and touristification in Seville, Spain
Increased international tourism in large European cities has been a growing social and political issue over the last few years. As the number of urban tourists has rapidly grown, studies have often focused on its socio-spatial consequences, commonly referred to as touristification, and have linked this to gentrification. This connection makes sense within the framework of planetary gentrification theories because the social injustices it generate…
Social movements in crisis? From the 15-M movement to the electoral shift in Spain
Purpose Social left-wing political contestation and activism in Spain have undergone great changes over the past four years. First, there has been a shift from the 15-M movement that took over public plazas with its ambiguous claims basically related to radical democracy and rejection of institutional politics, to a new focus on social problems generated by the crisis, highlighting issues such as housing and cutbacks in social rights. Second, the…
