Summary
A recent study on the Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentinareveals significant socio-environmental risks linked to rapid urbanization and gentrification, particularly in Tilcara. The research highlights how rising tourism and property values have displaced local populations towards peripheral areas with higher geomorfolical hazards. Analyzing data from 2004–2018 on tourism, economic activity, and real estate prices, the study underscores the urgent need for improved housing infrastructure, water management, and diversification of the local economy to reduce dependency on tourism. The findings also stress the necessity for state intervention amid post-pandemic economic challenges.
