The districts of Lausanne (city centre) and Les Alpes Vaudoises (East of Vaud) saw considerable increases in the demand for AirBnB.

Lausanne Sport Map and analysis has been made as part of the Bring Your Own Map CASA students project (#BYOM) that was presented over a Zoom call on 10th May 2020. We were interested in researching the social media and AirBnb activity of the Youth Olympic Games 2020.
First, we collected social media data using the Twitter API and AirBnB data from Inside AirBnB, then shapefiles were downloaded from Asitvd. The data was then cleaned and analysed in this Python notebook before being visualized.
