Reading Airbnb's Pressure on Milan

2023-10-27

How do you read Airbnb data, and what does it mean for housing in a city that keeps becoming less affordable? How many listings are there on Airbnb? Which neighborhoods have been hit hardest? How has the role of the host changed over the years? And why does Milan's Design Week play such a key role in all this? We tried to answer these and other questions in a long-form article rich with data and visualizations, published with the OFFTopic political lab.
