We are the research team at Sapienza University of Rome exploring how digital platforms are reshaping urban space and place from political and economic perspectives. Our work focuses on topics such as short-term rentals and tourism platforms, temporary populations and mid-term rentals, student mobility and studentification, platform economies, and rentier capitalism. We are also actively engaged in disseminating our research findings in public contexts, with the aim of influencing areas such as short-term rentals regulations and public housing in various Italian cities.We also investigate the impacts of remote work on urban mobility, the rise of digital labor and the gig economy, public digital platforms, and digitally mediated sex work and hookup platforms. Finally, adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, our research critically addresses the impacts of digital transformations on urban socio-spatial justice, both in Italy and beyond.
