“…Other cities within major tourist countries have also been studied such as Rome [32] and Paris [5,13,33]. In Lisbon, the rehabilitation of buildings and public spaces, and the growth in the number of holiday accommodation rentals are deeply affecting central spaces such as Alfama, Bairro Alto, Baixa, and Chiado [34][35][36]. In Spain, Barcelona is one of the most studied cities, for example regarding the penetration of tourism in the heart of the Raval historic district [37].…”

Urban centres in Europe have been recently affected by touristification processes which endanger their sustainable development. In this context, education in urban sustainability is gaining great importance at all stages of education. It has been noticed that this issue is not appropriately presented in primary education studies where "tourism" is one of the topics to be addressed. This paper provides the design of a teaching activity for teachers in training in order to understand the process of tourism gentrification in European cities. The aim of this activity is to enable the transfer of knowledge to primary education concerning contemporary urban processes involving tourism within a framework of respect and sustainability. This activity is based on an urban geographical analysis in public squares located in touristified districts of several European cities. This is achieved by way of a visual, interactive and cartographic analysis and evaluation. This paper presents the results of the didactic experience in Madrid. The results are positive, since students develop geographic abilities, attitudes of respect, critical thinking, and contrasted knowledge about tourism gentrification. We conclude with a call for a conceptual update of contemporary urban processes involving tourism in primary education curricula and advise that teachers in training should be taken to the field to explain complex spatial phenomena.

“…The neighbourhood is also located next to Bairro Alto, a gentrified neighbourhood known for its vibrant night life that recently became notorious as a core of creativity (Costa 2010). As said earlier, the retail regeneration of this area coexisted with an increase of tourism and many buildings and building floors have recently been converted to hotels and hostels to accommodate a growing number of tourists (Barata-Salgueiro et al 2017). This is an ongoing process as there are still buildings undergoing renewals in Chiado and the tendency to make the area more touristic and consumerist does not seem to be halting.…”

The objective of this paper is to explore how different artistic practices work to alter the distribution of the senses, and consequently, the disposition, processes and practices of the situated surplus of urban places. While it has been acknowledged that artistic performances in public space generate specific appropriations of the urban environment, the role that specific sensorial channels play in these events is still underexplored. Drawing upon fieldwork conducted between 2012 and 2016 in Chiado, our study highlights how dance, music and architecture stimulate, invoke and highlight specific senses while rendering others unnoticed. This causes shifts in bodily rhythms, mood and attention to details in urban space. As certain corporeal isles are enacted through contemplation, the experience and appropriation of urban space is subject to change. A central tension in this matter is the fluctuation between visual and sonic spatialities.

“…Similar conclusions were withdrawn by Guimarães (2018), in this author's analysis of traditional retail markets in Lisbon. Part of this recent evolution relates with the growing numbers of tourists, in a process that is commonly named as touristification (Barata-Salgueiro et al 2017) or tourism gentrification (see Gravari-Barbas and Guinand 2017, for further examples on the application of this concept). This process mainly affects traditional retail markets that are located in or near the main tourist attractions.…”

Exploring the Impacts of Gentrified Traditional Retail Markets in Lisbon in Local Neighbourhoods

This article explores recent transformations in retail in Lisbon. We analyse a gentrified traditional retail market located in Campo de Ourique, Lisbon and study the relationship between this retail precinct and the surrounding commercial fabric. Through a set of enquiries on local retailers, our findings show an absence of relationship between the market and the remaining shopping district, insofar as Campo de Ourique market can be designed as a fortress. There is a social implication of this finding in the sense that the gentrification of the traditional retail market is severely detrimental to the local population quality of life. In terms of policy implication, this article demonstrates that this kind of project produces different results from some well-known retail-led urban regeneration projects and, as such, should not be used as a benchmarking for other areas.
