This book offers a unique perspective on urban processes affecting tourist spaces and city centres. Economic, social and environmental uncertainty has been commonplace since March 2019, when mobility slowed down across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated trends that have been investigated in urban space for years. The incorporation of technologies, the expansion of tourism and the introduction of policies that in part want to advance sustainability are generating processes of reorganisation of territories that are driving changes. These changes will affect models of city, urbanism and society. This publication is directed to a wide spectrum of people interested in urban processes, tourism and social change in the context of the Post-Pandemic Covid-19. In particular, the book is aimed at researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, consultants, public administrations and the public interested in the recent challenges that are affecting developed and developing societies.

Los últimos años han venido marcados por profundos cambios sociales, económicos, ambientales, culturales, políticos o tocnológicos, que han tenido una indudable repercusión en América Latina. Las lógicas globales han servido para impulsarlos, de la mano de la facilidad del capital y de empresas de diferente procedencia sectorial para moverse en busca de espacios de oportunidad. Esto ha favorecido relocalizaciones industriales y territoriales de la producción. Han sido transformaciones operadas en contextos económicos en los que han alternado aceleración y crisis económicas de escala planetaria.
