| Abstract: | This article explores the relationship between tourist development, urban governance and urban public space. On the one hand the focus lies in the relationships between 'new urban governance' and the activities and interests of mobile capital and consumption, and on the other hand between 'new urban governance' and the spaces of everyday life. Based on study done in York, England, the paper demonstrates the socio-spatial issues at stake for urban centres that have employed tourism and culture as drivers for economic development. The axiomatic status of the local /tourist dualism in several tourism management discourses is challenged. |
