"The Power of New Urban Tourism explores new forms of tourism in urban areas with their social, political, architectural, and economic implications on a global stage. By investigating various showcases of New Urban Tourism within its social and spatial frames, the book offers insights into power relations, the impact of cultural, social and economic capital on tourism, and connections between tourism and cityscapes in various socio-spatial settings around the world. Contributors to the volume show how urban space has become a battleground between local residents and visitors, with changing perceptions of tourists as co-users of public and private urban spaces and as influencers of the local economies. This includes different roles of digital platforms as resources for access to the city and touristic opportunities as well as means to organise protest. With contemporary cases from a wide disciplinary spectrum, the contributors investigate exploratively the power of New Urban Tourism in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and Oceania. This focus allows a cross-cultural evaluation of New Urban Tourism and its dynamic and changing concept, transforming and subverting cities and tourism alike. The Power of New Urban Tourism will be of great interest to academics, researchers and students in the fields of cultural studies, sociology, the political sciences, history, human geography, urban design and planning, architecture, ethnology and anthropology"--

“Avec Te Pas / Onpas : Architectural Night Walks 04.20 – 05.20, les architectes Glenn Lyppens, Koen Pauwels et Olivier Roels présentent un rapport personnel d’une tournée d’inspection nocturne intensive dans l’espace urbain d’Anvers. Ceci durant une période unique de son histoire : le lockdown entre avril et mai 2020. Composé de huit journaux de bord, autant de promenades sont reconstituées sur la base d’une carte d’orientation et d’une série d’instantanés de scènes spatiales qui ont suscité l’intérêt à un moment donné – au milieu de la nuit – et qui ont pu être capturées avec des smartphones. Cette publication est un document inspirant pour quiconque s’intéresse de manière générale à l’architecture (anversoise) et à l’espace urbain. Elle peut même réussir à être une infection virale qui contamine sérieusement le lecteur et, surtout, l’incite à partir à la (re)découverte de sa propre ville et à se forger une opinion sur celle-ci en fonction de son intérêt personnel. Un plaidoyer pour une revalorisation de la promenade (nocturne).”

Cities are the dominant geographical focus of business and leisure tourism travel, and cities everywhere are regenerating and reinventing themselves so as to attract visitors, students and investment. Inside City Tourism explores the organisational challenges to which this gives rise, and in particular examines the history, structure and functioning of the urban delivery mechanisms set up to raise profile and maximise tourism. The book is written by the Chief Executive Officer of European Cities Marketing who – as a former tourism academic and city marketing professional – is uniquely placed to synthesise academic and practical insights and to provide a distinctively European overview. While cities increasingly seek to differentiate themselves through brands, events and iconic structures, the approaches, techniques and language used by cities to promote themselves is remarkably similar across the length and breadth of Europe. Never before published case material exemplifies best practice in city marketing, with the greater part of leading edge practice to be found in Scandinavia, Holland, Germany, Austria and Spain. Inside City Tourism ‘tells it like it is’, uncovering the pitfalls and failures as well as the opportunities and successes, and the attendant leadership challenges. It is essential reading for practitioners and policymakers as well as students and academics.

This book offers a unique perspective on urban processes affecting tourist spaces and city centres. Economic, social and environmental uncertainty has been commonplace since March 2019, when mobility slowed down across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated trends that have been investigated in urban space for years. The incorporation of technologies, the expansion of tourism and the introduction of policies that in part want to advance sustainability are generating processes of reorganisation of territories that are driving changes. These changes will affect models of city, urbanism and society. This publication is directed to a wide spectrum of people interested in urban processes, tourism and social change in the context of the Post-Pandemic Covid-19. In particular, the book is aimed at researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, consultants, public administrations and the public interested in the recent challenges that are affecting developed and developing societies.

This Special Issue on ‘Sustainability and Visitor Management in Tourist Historic Cities’ explores new trends and methods that contribute to sustainable practices for tourism planning and management in historic cities. Thanks to the differentiated approaches adopted by the authors, the Special Issue reflects on the environmental, physical, cultural, and social effects that tourism activity provokes in tourist historic cities. Considering the present debate on tourism in historic cities, there is a special focus on resident perceptions and the social problems and conflicts associated with various tourist activities that have emerged in recent years. New methodologies and sources to measure tourism impacts are also addressed in this book, especially the use of big data technology, another relevant topic. Papers include one literature review and six case studies in the historic cities of Seville and Toledo (Spain), Venice and Matera (Italy), and Porto (Portugal) and Popayán (Colombia). This Special Issue provides practical tools and policy recommendations to measure tourism impacts and promote sustainable management in tourist historic cities.
