Researcher and urbanist Guadalupe Granero Realini joined us to discuss the recent launch of the Global Observatory on Short-Term Rentals(link is external), an initiative led by a coalition of Latin American organisations working on housing and urban issues to track governance patterns, private sector pushes and activist action on short-term rentals and their impact on housing markets worldwide. Guadalupe works on territorial justice, and her research is currently focused on extractivist processes in Latin America which dispossess communities in cities as well as in rural and wild environments. Whenever she can, she teaches, collaborates with social organisations and participates in the media. She developed part of her research in Rio de Janeiro, as well as at Ryerson University and the University of Montreal as an ELAP fellow. In 2017 she published Territories of Inequality. Urban Policy and Spatial Justice (Territorios de la Desigualdad. Política Urbana y Justicia Espacial)
