What is an equal city, and how do we achieve one? In this episode of Talk That Science, we sit down with Elisabetta Gobbo, a PhD student at Erasmus University, to dive into the complex relationship between gentrification, housing, and tourism. Elisabetta explores how political philosophy helps frame discussions about city equality, property rights, and urban justice. We also discuss the ongoing housing crisis in cities like Venice and Amsterdam, where tourism is affecting the local way of life. Elisabetta shares insights into how cities around the world are coping with these challenges, highlighting the need for sustainable policies.
