This article explores the relationship between the spatial concentration of short-term rentals in Lisbon’s historic center and the phenomena of uneven development and tourism gentrification. By providing quantitative and qualitative evidence of the uneven geographic distribution of tourist apartments within the municipality of Lisbon, it contributes to the study of the new processes of neoliberal urbanization in the crisis-ridden countries of Southern Europe. It argues that the great share of whole-home rentals and the expansion of the short-term rental market over the housing stock are symptoms of the commodification of housing in the neoliberal city. Due to the loss of consumption capacity by the Portuguese society amid crisis and austerity, real estate developers target external markets and local households must compete for access to a limited housing stock with tourists and other temporary city users. The subsequent global rent gap stimulates the proliferation of vacation rentals at the expense of the supply of residential housing, fueling property prices and jeopardizing housing affordability. With Portugal being a peripheral member of the EU and the Eurozone, the vulnerability of local households to the impacts of tourism gentrification is aggravated by the remarkable income gap with their counterparts of the core.

A cidade de Lisboa está a experimentar un profundo e rápido proceso de transformación urbana que comezou inmediatamente despois da crise financeira de 2008. Estimulada por un boom turístico e unha forte inxección de capital inmobiliario transnacional, a rehabilitación urbana avanza sobre centro histórico mellorando substancialmente o edificado pero provocando un ascenso imparable do prezo da vivenda que torna a cidade cada día máis inaccesible para os seus habitantes. Nesta investigación queremos achegarnos á comunidade artística para analizar como se está a ver afectada por este fenómeno e identificar as súas percepcións sobre o mesmo. A partir da análise do asentamento de diferentes colectivos independentes en varias zonas máis e menos centrais da capital portuguesa, suxerimos que a comunidade artística é primeiro vehículo e máis tarde vítima da xentrificación dos barrios onde se instala.

La Eurorregión Galicia-Norte de Portugal cuenta con una importante riqueza patrimonial material e inmaterial de gran potencial como elemento de desarrollo territorial y atracción turística. Sin embargo, en muchos casos este patrimonio no es suficientemente conocido y/o valorado por las comunidades locales o los visitantes. Esta situación podría estar motivada por la ausencia de iniciativas que permitan un mayor conocimiento de su historia, características o ubicación. En este contexto surge el proyecto GEOARPAD como acción conjunta entre instituciones gallegas y portuguesas integrada en el programa INTERREG V-A España-Portugal 2014-2020. Su objetivo es potenciar la identificación, clasificación, protección y difusión del patrimonio en el ámbito eurorregional, implementando un sistema de información geoespacial que siga el modelo de una Infraestructura de Datos Especiales (IDE) y sea participativo, accesible e interoperable: el Sistema de Información Patrimonial de la Eurorregión Galicia-Norte de Portugal. Este artículo presenta los resultados obtenidos durante la fase inicial de desarrollo del Sistema. Por una parte, se describen los procesos metodológicos llevados a cabo para la armonización semántica y geográfica de la cartografía de Galicia y la región Norte de Portugal, que dan lugar a un mapa armonizado de la Eurorregión. Por otra parte, se muestra el resultado de la georreferenciación de los bienes patrimoniales gallegos y portugueses, lo cual constituye la base del Sistema de Información Patrimonial de la Eurorregión.The Euro-region Galicia-North of Portugal has a rich tangible and intangible cultural heritage of great potential as driver of local development and tourist attraction. However, in many cases this heritage is not sufficiently well known and/or appreciated by local communities and visitors. This situation may be due to the absence of appropriate initiatives to promote a better knowledge of the history, features and location of the heritage sites. The GEOARPAD project was born in this context as a joint action involving Galician and Portuguese public institutions. Integrated in the INTERREG V-A Spain-Portugal 2014-2020 program, its objective is to promote the identification, classification, protection and dissemination of the cultural heritage of the Euro-region by implementing a participatory, accessible and interoperable geospatial information system that follows the model of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI): The Heritage Information System of the Euro-region Galicia-North of Portugal. This article presents the results that have been obtained during the initial development phase of this System. On the one hand, it describes the methodology that guided the semantic and geographic harmonization of the cartography of Galicia and the North of Portugal, which materialized in a harmonized map of the Euro-region. On the other hand, it shows the result of the georeferencing of the heritage sites of Galicia and the North of Portugal, which constitutes the basis for the Heritage Information System of the Euro-region Galicia-North of Portugal.
