Cities After... Post-Pandemic Urbanization: Spectacles, Speculation & Tourism - Pt 4

We're bringing our podcast Cities After... to YouTube!

[S1 E12] In todays episode, Prof. Robles-Duran continues to discuss the social, spatial and environmental effects of mass tourism by focusing on Barcelona, one of the worlds top tourist destinations and the first major city that developed important strategic policy to fight the predatory global tourism industry. For this discussion, he is joined by two very important personalities from Barcelona’s municipal government and urban social movements alike.

About our Guests: Gala Pin is the former governor of the city of Barcelona and chancellor in the first legislature of “Barcelona in Comú” in charge of citizen participation and the district of Ciutat Vella. David Bravo, former advisor to the Mayor of Barcelona on the implementation of strategies against gentrification. David is an architect dedicated to reflection and debate on urban challenges such as public space, the right to housing, fair and sustainable mobility and the right to the city.

Cities After... is a bi-weekly podcast about the future of cities; grounded in our daily urban struggles, it is part dystopian and part utopian. The intention is to entice civic imagination into action, because a more just and sustainable urban future is possible.

Miguel Robles-Durán is an urbanist with expertise in the design and analysis of complex urban systems and urban political-ecology. He is an associate professor of urbanism and director of the graduate urban programs at The New School / Parsons School of Design in New York City. Read his full bio on our website.
