Pedro Henrique Cícero Ferreira (6B15-C58A-F0A3)

Curriculum Vitae

Young scientist interested in understanding the process of production of space intermediated by contemporary agents, notably digital platforms. In the Bachelor's degree in Geography studied the role of culture in the development of cities throughout Brazilian's modern history. In the Master's degree in Architecture and Urbanism researched how digital platforms, such as Airbnb, are transforming urban spaces while imposing new logics through the informational use of the territory. Currently, in the Doctorate in Geography, researches the socio-spatial dynamics of Airbnb in Rio de Janeiro, focused on how the market structure in the city promotes the financialization of housing and how the territorial specificities may question wider theorisations that are based on the Global North experiences.
