Pôle Sud
Les villes européennes font face à un triple phénomène de vacance (logements, immeubles de bureaux, friches industrielles). D’abord symptômes de « villes en déclin », puis servant la spéculation, ces espaces sont devenus dans les années 1990 et 2000 les supports de formes de réappropriation à la fois par les citoyens et par les acteurs des politiques urbaines. Dans un cadre comparatif, cet article examine le cas de deux expériences de lieux autogérés conventionnés par des acteurs publics – respectivement un fablab et un centre social autogéré – à Gand et à Madrid. Mettant en évidence les conditions dans lesquelles ces expérimentations sont nées, l’article montre d’abord en quoi l’instrumentation par le projet urbain facilite l’ouverture de modes de gouvernance et de mises en œuvre flexibles et, malgré des effets de délimitation et de contrôle de l’espace par les acteurs publics, laisse la place à des formes diverses d’appropriation par les usagers. Ensuite, démontrant le caractère non exclusif de processus de déterritorialisation, territorialisation et reterritorialisation qui se superposent, l’article montre que tout régime de territorialité est hybride. Via la comparaison, l’article s’insère dans les débats sur la standardisation et la différenciation des politiques urbaines : si les politiques urbaines européennes produisent bien de la standardisation dans leur instrumentation, l’analyse de la mise en œuvre et des comportements des usagers permet de montrer des processus de différenciation.

The objective of the article is to identify the impacts of the squatting movement on public policies in Spain (1984-2018). Through the hermeneutics of social processes, three cases are compared (Barcelona, Madrid and Bilbao). Qualitative and quantitative data of the following variables are analyzed: 1) history, types, number and visibility of squatting 2) changes in local governments and 3) institutionalization. This is an original study: the impacts of social movements do not usually appear in the academic production of public policies and experts in social movements have rarely been interested in the specific effects of collective action on policies. The result of the research is that the squat movement affects decision-makers, through innovations and creativity, which materialize in new housing, cultural, social or youth policies. This phenomenon is rooted in urban conflicts, over which the squat movement deliberately or indirectly exerts pressure as a collateral effect of a disruptive action. The squatting experiences are different in the three cities, there are changes and continuities during the period studied and diversity in the level of institutionalization and in the relations between movement and authorities.

Short-term rentals facilitated by online platforms (like Airbnb) have recently become a subject of intense debate, leading many city governments to pass new regulations attempting to control both their proliferation and platform activities. While these policy responses vary greatly from city to city, there is little comparative research to explain this diversity. This paper employs a sociological approach to public policy analysis to compare the politicization process, collective action around and regulation of platform-mediated short-term rentals (PM-STR) in three cities – Barcelona, Paris and Milan. They were chosen to represent most-dissimilar cases in terms of regulatory outputs, both in terms of stringency (weak in Milan, intermediate in Paris, strong in Barcelona) and choice of policy sectors (sharing economy and tourism in Milan, housing and land use in Paris, urban planning and tourism in Barcelona). Two main findings emerged from the comparison. First, the differences between regulations can be explained by the type of actors who politicized the issue in the first place and framed it within a specific policy sector, the pre-existing policy instruments traditionally used in that sector and the distribution of competences between the city and higher tiers of government. Second, the regulations remain continuously subject to intense political mobilization by six types of actors with clashing interests: professional STR operators, associations of hosts or ‘home-sharers’, the hotel industry, residents’ associations or citizens’ movements, ‘sharing economy’ advocates and corporate platforms. Each actor constructs different narratives regarding PM-STR, claiming different types of rights in this contentious politics of regulation.

... In London regeneration schemes, eligibility for rehousing after social housing estate demolition is also heavily stratified, albeit that secure council tenants have the most rehousing rights for any new properties which are built, with homeowners offered cash compensation (but often at not enough money to remain in the renewed area), while private tenants have hardly any rights (Hodkinson and Essen 2015;Watt 2021). This crucial issue of eligibility is examined by Aguilera (2024) in his paper on Madrid' s slum clearance programme in this Special Feature. ...

... The incremental nature of these policies became evident through a few events that marked the political debate. One noteworthy event was the occupation of riverbanks by the 'Les Enfants de Don Quichotte association and homeless individuals following the enactment of the DALO law in 2007, which mandated prefects to provide housing or shelter to those without it (Aguilera, 2020). Quietly, activists and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have been organising local protests and demonstrations for Eastern European migrants and homeless families and against shantytowns for about two decades (Vacca, et al., 2022). ...

... 60 In this vein, Thomas Aguilera has emphasised the relative success of onsite interventions by NGOs in the Global South to advocate the normalising and regularising of slums as an alternative to removal and rehousing in Northern 'slums' (that is, migrant dwellings in Paris and Madrid). 61 So far, the North seems to be unwilling to learn from the South in this regard. Nevertheless, confronting a phenomenon with an equivalent in a different part of the world holds remarkable critical potential. ...

A necessidade de renda extra potencializada pela crise de 2008, a chegada da geração millenial em idade economicamente ativa e os avanços tecnológicos são fatores que explicam o crescimento da Economia do Compartilhamento e o crescimento do Airbnb (Fernandes et al., 2018;Gallagher, 2019). A retração do Estado, fator importante para o crescimento da Economia do Compartilhamento (Fernandes et al., 2018) e do capitalismo de plataforma (Srnicek, 2017), também foi decisiva para o avanço do Airbnb em Portugal, que autorizou descongelamento de aluguéis e contribuiu para a alteração dos aluguéis de longo para curto prazo (Aguilera et al., 2019a;Fernandes et al., 2019;Brossat, 2019). ...

... Approaches to STR regulation vary (Aguilera et al., 2021;Nieuwland & van Melik, 2020;Von Briel & Dolnicar, 2021), with some cities adopting a liberal approach to support market developmentfor example London (Ferreri & Sanyal, 2018). However, other cities have attempted to limit market expansion to address perceived externalities, and there is growing literature on the effectiveness of such STR regulations (Bei & Celata, 2023;Wessel et al., 2024). ...
