Next Friday, IUCLM will hold a public event in Miguelturra to discuss access to decent housing, a problem affecting many families. The initiative aims to analyze proposals against real estate speculation and evictions, with the goal of guaranteeing this fundamental right. The event seeks to create a space for citizen dialogue on necessary housing policies.
Technology as a tool against speculation 🏡
In the field of urban development, tools such as data analysis and geographic information systems make it possible to identify areas with a high concentration of vacant homes or speculative purchasing patterns. Open-source platforms facilitate transparency in the real estate market, while digital public records help track properties owned by large holders. These technologies provide useful data for designing intervention policies.
AI won't rent you an apartment, but it knows who has one empty 🤖
While real estate algorithms adjust prices in real time to maximize profits, citizens dream of an artificial intelligence that, instead of suggesting series, finds them a rental without paying an arm and a leg. Perhaps the next big technological breakthrough will be a bot that explains to landlords that having an empty apartment is not a retirement plan, but a social problem with wifi.
