The Cities vs. AirBnB (Housing Party, ep1)
Where and when is Airbnb activity happening in Canada? Who is making money on Airbnb and how? And are short-term rentals threatening long-term housing in Canada? You'll find the answers to all this and more on the new bi-monthly show-within-a-show 'Housing Party' from Unpacking the News-!
Join housing and human rights doctoral student David DesBaillets (Universit\xe9 du Qu\xe9bec \xe0 Montr\xe9al, Project Montreal) as he welcomes critical urbanist David Wachsmuth (McGill School of Urban Planning, Canada Research Chair in Urban Governance) to explore his research on AirBnB and the good and bad ways in which online and digital platforms are distorting and transforming the Canadian housing sector.
Join David DesBaillets every two months for a new conversation on housing in Canada with experts, policy wonks and scholars examining the challenges cities face in providing affordable, adequate and accessible housing for Canadians.
