Learning Objectives
By working through this case, students will achieve the following:
- Assess Airbnb’s socio-economic impact, including housing, safety, and the “Disneyfication” of urban neighbourhoods.
- Use stakeholder theory to evaluate competing interests in Airbnb’s impact on housing, tourism, and public safety.
- Evaluate the trade-offs between public regulation and platform self-regulation.
- Develop evidence-based policy recommendations that balance innovation and economic growth with housing affordability, community stability, and public safety.
