Abstract

El presente articulo reconceptualiza los espacios urbanos como móviles y relacionales, continuamente reconstruidos y redefinidos por flujos de personas, de conocimiento y de capital, examinando el desarrollo de las prácticas móviles que giran en torno al barrio del Poblenou de Barcelona, en el que las transformaciones urbanas vinculadas a los Juegos Olímpicos de 1992, la renovación del frente marítimo y el posterior desarrollo de un clúster de alta tecnología (el “22@”) han desencadenado un profundo y duradero proceso de cambio social. This paper reinterprets these transformations, departing from notions of ‘relational space’, re-conceptualizing urban spaces as mobile and relational, continuously reconstructed and reground ed by flows of people, knowledge, and capital. We examine the representa-tions of mobility and the embodied mobile practices in relation to the ongoing mutation of a Barcelona’s neighbourhood, in which the urban transformations linked to the 1992 Olympic Games, the renewal of the waterfront and the later development of a hi-tech cluster has trig-gered a profound and long-lasting process of social change

Abstract

This paper investigates how different human mobilities negotiate public space and with which results. The case in point is that of cruise tourism in Barcelona, a city where the relentless growth of visitors and the expansion of accessibility gateways like the cruise port may well be behind the rise of "anti-tourism"™ voices in social and political circles. Our work focuses on the transits of cruise passenger groups in two exemplary public spaces of the city, analysing how they come to fence off, engage with- or feed the mobility of other collectives. This research provides fresh insights on the processes that may generate disaffection among different "place users"™, eliciting a revision of the expectations on the quality of public space. On a more technical level, this paper introduces a complex but cost-effective methodology, involving a mix of geo-analytic and qualitative methods, which manages to track the "mobility clash"™ in public space and make sense of the response tactics.
