Ciutat de Vacances is a networking project involving cities that have undergone far-reaching urban transformations as the result of a significant development in tourism, such as Barcelona, Mallorca, Venice and Miami. The project will be exhibited in Venice during the first months of the 2017 Biennale to show the results of the proposals developed at Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, together with activities in situ to encourage audiences to reflect on cities that are gentrified by tourism.
The goal is to carry out a global analysis of the tourism phenomenon linked to urban transformations.
With the support of the IED (Istituto Europeo di Design), a prototype for a temporary tourist information point has been designed for the research group. The development of this stand is intended to test and analyse in real time the phenomenon of trends in global movement and their relationship with cities at a time of high tourism intensity.
