Tourism and Urban Regeneration - Processes Compressed in Time and Space (Paperback): Alberto Amore Tourism and Urban Regeneration - Processes Compressed in Time and Space (Paperback)
Alberto Amore
R759 Discovery Miles 7 590 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Tourism and Urban Regeneration: Processes Compressed in Time and Space presents the global phenomenon of tourism and urban regeneration through the contemporary frames of spatial planning theory, metagovernance, resilience and disaster capitalism. Drawing upon cases from several cities around the globe, the book advances the field with the inclusion of examples from post-disaster rebuilding and recovery. The book is rooted in a theoretical framework that considers time, space and tourism as core facets for the analysis. By doing so, it provides readers with an understanding of different yet similar processes of urban development and identifies the principles for tourism and urban regeneration to effectively contribute to socio-economic growth, urban change and long-term sustainability. The theory is illustrated through insightful case studies covering a range of urban tourism destinations including Dubai, Newcastle, Christchurch, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Taipei. This work will be of great interest to upper-level students and researchers in Tourism as well as those in the fields of Geography, Urban Planning, and Policy and Development.

C. Michael Hall, Girish Prayag, Alberto Amore
R821 Discovery Miles 8 210 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book is the first authored overview of resilience in tourism and its relationship to the broader resilience literature.

It covers the different approaches to understanding resilience (the ecological and engineering approaches) and identifies issues with their understanding and application. The book connects issues of resilience to related key concepts such as vulnerability, adaptation, networks, systems, change and social capital. It is designed to be an upper level undergraduate and postgraduate primer on resilience in a tourism context and will be of interest to tourism researchers in planning, development, geography, impacts, sustainability, disaster management and environmental studies.

The growth of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has been remarkable. However, the rapid expansion of the phenomenon has yielded several concerns over its potentially negative economic, social and environmental impacts. These impacts are highlighted in policy agendas as an emerging problem encountered by many local communities in destinations experiencing a boom in P2P accommodation. Specifically, concerns have been raised over the impact of the growth of P2P accommodation on local housing markets, residents' well-being and the environment as a result of the touristification of residential areas. In fact, many observers accuse P2P accommodation of fuelling the 'overtourism' problem that several destinations face. This edited book addresses the need to examine the P2P accommodation phenomenon from a community resilience lens. In particular, through a collection of chapters presenting a range of empirical and conceptual perspectives from urban and rural communities, the book considers the implications of P2P accommodation growth on the resilience of local communities and the sustainable development of places. This book highlights: * The rapid growth of P2P accommodation yields economic, social and environmental negative impacts on destinations. * The P2P accommodation sector is evolving towards professionalization which, in turns, creates further implications for local community resilience. * This book draws attention towards the need to examine the nexus between P2P accommodation, sustainability and local community resilience. * The collection of chapters presents empirical and conceptual perspectives from urban and rural communities. * Chapters impart significant insights to policymakers, practitioners and academics in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
