Assessing the impact of the growth of the 'Sharing Economy' in European Cities
Payne, Joshua Alex Marco ; Oude Nijhuis, Dennie (advisor) ; Galent, Marcin (referee)
This thesis looks at this situation in four central European cities - Prague, Krakow, Budapest, and Warsaw - to better understand the motivations behind their respective policy responses to the challenges and opportunities that have emerged due to the rise of the STHR sector. This thesis focuses primarily upon the local government response when discussing regulation - much of the policy implemented concerning the STHR market has been done at a granular level, usually with cities making the call on how best to manage the phenomenon.12 In some instances, this regulation can even be set on a hyper-local district scale, as is the case in central Budapest.13 However, there are now calls for wide-reaching rules to be implemented through national and supranational structures - such as at the European Commission level - to support cities and communities trying to cope with the regulatory challenge of STHRs.14 Very recently, there has also been a noticeable increase in cooperation between city leadership looking to lobby legislative bodies so as to further the scope of their regulatory powers - an interesting development when attempting to better understand and explain the diversity of regulatory responses from European cities.
