Contemporary cities in the Iberian Peninsula have gone through a
period of dramatic changes during the last decade. A period of
upward economic indicators and massive urbanization was followed by
a tremendous financial crash in 2007 that sank Spanish and
Portuguese societies into a profound crisis. That period of massive
urbanization has been explained by several factors: the
availability of financial capital that was speculatively invested
in real-estate, a rather sympathetic land use regulation, and the
real or perceived social mobility by most social groups which
included housing acquisition enabled by unusual credit facilities.
In this book we aim to show several different aspects of this
process both in Portugal and Spanish cities, problematizing the
economic and social consequences of such a model of urban and
economic growth and also presenting some policy and governance
outcomes that took place along the last decade. This book was
published as a special issue of Urban Research and Practice.
