Practices of Citizenship and Real Estate Dynamics: Roberto Falanga and Chiara Pussetti in conversation with Vando Borghi and Davide Olori

The Instituto de Ciências Sociais of the University of Lisbon and the Department of Sociology and Business Law of the University of Bologna, partners in the Horizon 2020 ROCK project https://rockproject.eu share research and action interests in the contemporary dynamics of the city and the ways in which urban value is created. In particular, their action is informed by the same interest in tourism and the tourism-led transformation of the historical centers of European cities. We have asked some questions to Chiara Pussetti and Roberto Falanga concerning the context of Lisbon, which is dramatically traversed by these transformations. We are convinced that the specificity of this case goes beyond local peculiarities and can stimulate comparisons capable of contributing to the creation of a broader interpretive frame.
