Carlos Sanz Pérez, Escalating and Spilling over?
The Permanent Seminar on Urban Sociology (Seminario Permanente di Sociologia Urbana - SPSU) at the Interuniversity Department of Regional and Urban Studies and Planning (DIST) serves as a forum for exchange, alternating discussions of significant texts in urban sociology and international scholarship, and the presentation and examination of project proposals and the progress of ongoing research.
For the first appointment of this new academic year, Carlos Sanz Pérez (PhD candidate, CED Barcelona) will present and discuss his ongoing research "Escalating and Spilling Over? Post-Pandemic Residential Mobility and the Spatial Broadening of Gentrification in Madrid and Barcelona"
Spanish cities had already undergone a decade of gentrification expansion before the COVID-19 pandemic. In its aftermath, the continued financialization of housing, sharp rises in housing prices, and the growing mobility of transnational populations have been associated with a further escalation of these processes. However, there's a limited understanding of how patterns of residential mobility have changed. This contribution examines the composition, intensity, and spatial distribution of residential mobility flows in Madrid and Barcelona between 2011 and 2024 to update the state of gentrification processes in the post-pandemic period. The analysis draws on annual data from the municipal population registers (Padrón), provided by the statistical offices of both city councils, which record all registered changes of residence by place of origin and destination at the neighborhood level, age, educational attainment and country of birth. The findings will contribute to understanding the spatial expansion of gentrification in post-pandemic Southern European cities.
