“…The most recent publication in journal "Sustainability", focused on the interrelationships of Touristification (tantamount with tourist gentrification) and conflicts of interest in tourist areas [21]. A new publication by Cities attempts to provide a scholarly analysis of the political and economic factors influencing the state's involvement in touristification in Lisbon [22]. The findings indicate that the phenomenon of touristification may be attributed to the deliberate involvement of the neoliberal state.…”

“…Spain experiences the phenomenon of tourism gentrification due to its prominent status as a highly sought-after worldwide tourism destination, particularly in urban centers like Barcelona and Palma [24]. In Portugal, a phenomenon is occurring wherein the arrival of visitors in urban centers such as Lisbon has resulted in the displacement of several indigenous people [22]. The other five institutions contributing to the research were the Universiteit van Amsterdam, Universidad de Málaga, Politecnico di Milano, Universidad de Guanajuato, and the University of Westminster.…”

“…The link strength measure indicates the number of academic publications that two individuals have collaboratively written. The most recent work authored by Lopez-Gay and Cocola-Gant looks into the examination of how the government participated in the process of transforming Lisbon into a tourism destination [22]. The most recent publications authored by the top 10 scholars have shown that much study has been conducted on tourism gentrification to investigate the social impacts of this phenomenon.…”

The increase in global tourist activities triggers the emergence of physical change phenomena known as tourism gentrification. This phenomenon is famous for its negative impact, especially on low-income people, until this process is considered a cascading hazard from disaster. Unfortunately, researchers find difficulties when trying to start research on this topic due to the absence of an overview of research trends in bibliometric studies. This research uses bibliometric analysis to analyse the effect and significance of the nations, publications, organizations, and authors that have contributed the most to this subject matter. The Scopus database was used to collect bibliographic information on pertinent studies. The selection process resulted in choosing a total of 220 articles that were published between 1990 and 2023. A bibliometric study of these publications was carried out using VOSviewer version 1.6.19 as the primary software application. Regarding tourism gentrification, the most prolific institution was located in Portugal, Universidade de Lisboa, while the most productive journal is Sustainability (Switzerland). The most prosperous nation in terms of production and cooperation was Spain. The effects of tourism gentrification, including over-tourism and touristification, have been the primary focus of research published in recent years. The link between tourism development or planning and the tourism gentrification process needs to be examined.

“…Additionally, international demand was paralleled with a set of neoliberal policies to both attract financial capital into housing markets and to give more power to landlords and investors (Tulumello & Allegretti 2021; Estevens et al . 2023; Jover & Cocola‐Gant 2023). The consequences have been a rampant process of tourism‐driven gentrification and the arrival of real estate capital seeking refuge in the Lisbon's housing market (Barata‐Salgueiro et al .…”

The most common approach to student housing has been articulated by studentification literature. Furthermore, authors have highlighted how student demand attracts institutional investors to develop Purpose‐Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). In this paper, we complement these approaches with a conceptualization of how digital platforms have restructured the supply of student rooms in houses of multiple occupation. Relying on business and software understandings of platforms, we first explore the case of Uniplaces in Lisbon, a platform that has imitated the Airbnb model and today is present in more than 130 cities in various countries. Second, we depict Uniplaces within a landscape of mid‐term rental platforms that cater for different profiles of mobile populations, who stay in destinations for a short‐ or mid‐term period of time. We conclude with a discussion about the potential of this market to further advance processes of transnational gentrification and weaken the position of tenants.

Understanding Short and Long Mobilities Together: Place Attachment and Community Dynamics in Mouraria, Lisbon

The increase in mobilities over the last decades has facilitated the circulation of people, with short‐ and long‐term mobility practices often intertwining in the same destinations. Alongside migration processes of long‐term mobility to search for better living conditions, short mobility processes, such as touristification, started to significantly shape some cities and their communities in Southern Europe. This study examines place attachments, community and cultural dynamics of ‘migrant’ and ‘local’ residents of Mouraria, a historic and multicultural neighbourhood in Lisbon, and the consequences of touristification on those. Through walking interviews with ‘local’ residents and long‐term ‘migrants’ (n = 20), we concluded that most of the interviewed ‘migrants’ presented a traditional‐active place attachment associated both with proximity to their culture of origin and practices envisioning the well‐being of the neighbourhood's community. Additionally, we found that the essentialisation of Mouraria's community life (‘bairrismo’) was endorsed mainly by ‘local’ residents and associated with a conditional acceptance of new residents, while touristification tended to highlight structural social injustices for both ‘local’ and ‘migrant’ residents. We discuss how the community dynamics created between these different mobility processes contribute to generate multicultural and community practices in both groups of residents.
