2026-11-03 13:20 2026-11-03 14:10 Europe/Madrid Rent, Tourism and Speculation: How Cities are Fighting Back Against Market Distortions

Rental markets are under growing pressure from rising rents, tourism-related uses, short-term rentals, and speculative dynamics, making it harder for many households to access and remain in affordable housing. As regulation becomes a central tool to respond to market distortion, the session will look at how cities and governments are working to restore balance between tenant rights, housing supply, and long-term urban liveability, while bringing together local, regional, and international perspectives on rent affordability.
