Shanghái: Paisaje metropolitano y verticalización urbana (2013)
Vista panorámica del frente urbano de Shanghái, con el río Huangpu en primer término y el denso perfil urbano de la ciudad al fondo. La imagen permite apreciar el contraste entre la arquitectura histórica del área del Bund y la verticalización contemporánea del paisaje urbano detrás, característica de la transformación reciente de la ciudad.

Are shopping malls dying? Dynamics of a retail format in Spain
Shopping malls —conceived as integrated spaces for leisure and consumption— became leading actors in urban retail and enjoyed remarkable success. In their country of origin, the United States, they are now experiencing a marked decline. This article demonstrates that the trajectory is not identical in Spain. Using national shopping‐centre directories and economic life‐cycle theory, we show that, after the Great Recession, the sector moved from a …
Social Sustainability and Touristification: The Case of Querétaro’s Historic Center
The pressure of heritage tourism is leading to processes of touristification in historical city centres. This phenomenon is presently occurring in Latin America, resulting in gentrification and increasing depopulation. These changes reduce the residential and heritage value of these areas, thereby jeopardising the social sustainability of tourism. A case study was conducted in Querétaro to analyse residents’ perceptions of the positive and negati…

From Segregation to Fragmentation: Mapping the Recent Global Literature
Urban fragmentation is a phenomenon that characterizes inequalities and their physical reproduction in the geographical space of cities. (1) Background: This polysemic concept is currently on the rise, as cities become increasingly differentiated and disconnected in their internal dynamics. Research on this topic has increased in recent years, paralleling the growing urban complexity influenced by phenomena such as the 2008 crisis and the COVID-1…
What is happening in shrinking medium-sized cities? A correlational analysis and a multiple linear regression model on the case of Spain
In Europe, urban shrinkage has emerged as a prominent and concerning phenomenon. It is affecting an increasingly large number of cities, particularly small and medium-sized ones. Nonetheless, the dynamics and causes vary at national level. It is a recent process in Spain, although in the 21st century, and especially since the great recession, the number of shrinking medium-sized cities has expanded. This evolution is yet to be sufficiently addres…
Co-opting overtourism: Tourism Stakeholders’ Use of the Perceptions of Overtourism in Their Power Struggles
Many tourism destinations are facing overtourism situations, where the increase in visitors negatively impacts on residents' life. Even if the perceptions of overtourism amongst residents have been analysed, the use of that perception by other key stakeholders remains largely unexplored. The discursive co-optation of the concept of overtourism amongst supply-side stakeholders, governmental and civil society stakeholders, provide a unique insight …
Las ciudades medias de España y sus coronas en el siglo XXI (2000-2017): Dinámica Demográfica Y Desarrollo Inmobiliario
El inicio del siglo XXI ha sido muy compulsivo en la dinámica urbana española. La causa principal ha sido el crecimiento urbanístico explosivo que tuvo lugar entre 2000 y 2008 y su siguiente paralización por la Gran Recesión. El artículo analiza este proceso centrado en las ciudades medias y sus respectivas coronas dentro del contexto nacional. Se plantea un estudio comparado de la evolución de la población y de las unidades constructivas de las …

En las últimas décadas del siglo XX, los discursos sobre un mundo sin fronteras, donde las relaciones territoriales ya no son determinadas por los Estados, ganaron fuerza entre académicos y decisores políticos. Los proyectos de cooperación transnacional, como los que están en la base de la Unión Europea, parecían demostrar que las fronteras dejaban de significar discontinuidades económicas, políticas y sociales. Estos nuevos escenarios permitiero…
Medium-sized Cities in Spain and Their Urban Areas within National Network
Traditionally, medium-sized cities have been compact urban centres, which have also emerged as satellite nuclei within metropolitan areas of larger cities. However, urban dispersion models have led to growth in population and the increasing urbanisation of large cities’ peripheral areas. This article will analyse medium-sized cities in Spain, as well as their urban areas within the national urban network. Medium-sized cities will be defined herei…
Land Squandering in the Spanish Medium Sized Cities: The Case of Toledo
A process of land squandering began in Spain in the mid 1990s until the great crisis of 2008. The intensive production of urban land affected the Spanish medium-sized towns. They were characterized by their compact nature and then they underwent an intense diffuse urbanization. However, in some cases there had been previous examples of urban sprawl. In this article, we study one of them, the unique and historic city of Toledo, in the Centre of th…
Realities and problems of a major cultural tourist destination in Spain, Toledo
Cultural tourism is a modality that has been expanding over the recent years, attracting many theorists. It is worth analyzing certain consolidated cultural tourist destinations such as Toledo. This article analyses a case study of one of the most relevant Heritage Tourism sites in Spain. It updates and broadens the current articles existing in the cultural tourism of Toledo. From a methodological perspective, it provides a critical analysis of d…
