However, post‐lockdown, patterns changed, with differences based characteristics gentrification pressures. This suggests while seemed to temporarily impact people used PGBS, these changes were rapidly reversed once mobility lifted. During after pandemic, facilitated informal care networks community cohesion helped endure impacts but return touristification pressures disrupted networks, heightening feelings displacement exclusion among research underscores dual role as both essential sites exclusion, emphasizing need inclusive just planning strategies.
