Barcelona is in a long-time struggle against the side effects of its touristic booming. Dynamics of substitution of population have started to be a real problem as a consequence of the increasing price of housing, strongly influenced by the extended presence of tourist flats.

In this text (in ITALIAN), you can find some reflection about what this event might imply in terms of urban policies in a global city.
