Abstract

The exponential growth of tourism in Lisbon, Portugal, has turned the city into an attractive destination also for other more or less mobile populations. Digital nomads, “expatriates”, international students and a strong intra-European mobility are noticeable in Lisbon’s urban landscape, especially in spaces that mix consumption and work practices, such as coffee shops, coworking and coliving spaces. Organized as various notes, this article focuses on these new urban infrastructures that allow the anchoring (albeit temporary) of mobile practices and lifestyles in Lisbon. In particular, it discusses how coffee shops facilitate the maintenance of these lifestyles, and how they are embedded in broader processes of transnational gentrification. The article results from a collective research project funded by the European Union and includes qualitative fieldwork with these spaces, their owners, and users.
