Summary
A study on the Historic Centre of Zacatecas reveals significant socio-spatial transformations driven by the rise of tourist-oriented housing, particularly Airbnb listings. The research highlights how collaborative economy models are reshaping urban dynamics in this UNESCO-recognized city, impacting its architectural heritage and social fabric. Using mixed methods—including web scraping, spatial mapping, field observations, and interviews—the study maps Airbnb's distribution and assesses its broader societal effects. Findings underscore the complex interplay between tourism-driven housing growth and the preservation of historical urban landscapes in mid-sized Mexican cities.
