Description
Over the last decade, commentaries and research on urban tourism precincts have predominantly focused on: their role in the tourism attractions
mix; their physical and functional forms; their economic significance; their role as a catalyst for urban renewal; their evolution and
associated development processes; and, perhaps more broadly, their role, locality and function within the context of urban planning.
City Spaces – Tourist Places both consolidates and develops the extant knowledge of urban tourism precincts into a
coherent research driven contemporary work. It revisits and examines the foundational literature but, more importantly, engages with
aspects of precinct development that have previously been either underdeveloped or received only limited consideration, such as the psychological
and socio-cultural dimensions of the precinct experience. Written by an international team of contributors it provides the reader with:
* A comprehensive analysis of foundational theory and cutting-edge advances in the knowledge of the precinct phenomenon
* An examination
of previously underdeveloped topics and themes based on contemporary and ground-breaking research
* Typological and theoretical frameworks
in which to locate precinct form, function and experience
Brilliantly edited to ensure theoretical continuity and coherence City
Spaces – Tourist Places is vital reading for anyone involved in the study or planning of urban tourism precincts.
Audience
Level 3 undergraduate and post-graduate students, researchers and practitioners on tourism management, urban tourism, urban design, urban
planning and urban studies courses. Also of interest to those on tourism planning courses (an almost universal module on all tourism
courses).
