Resumo(s)
This paper focuses on the historic connections between tourist promotion as a factor for
both capital attraction and competitiveness and its influence on the urban configuration
of Barcelona. Today, tourism represents a strategic value in the urban organisation of Barcelona
and constitutes an excuse for the design, management and planning of the city, but
the genealogy of this process has not been considered. In analysing this origin, the paper
emphasises the validity of the strategies that were used at the beginning of the 20th century
and makes a parallelism with the current promotion of the city. The tourist construction
of Barcelona originated in the framework of the bourgeois ideology, which placed aesthetic
and cultural values as a core idea of its discourse. Both the urban reconfiguration and the
monumental construction of Barcelona were a prerequisite and a consequence of this
promotion.
