Tourism and Urban Regeneration: Processes Compressed in Time and Space delves into the intricate interplay between tourism and urban regeneration, shedding light on the global phenomenon through the contemporary lenses of spatial planning theory, metagovernance, resilience, and disaster capitalism. Drawing upon a wealth of case studies from cities across the globe, the book pioneers the field by incorporating examples from post-disaster rebuilding and recovery, offering valuable insights into the complex processes of urban development.

At its core, the book establishes a theoretical framework that recognizes the pivotal role of time, space, and tourism in shaping urban landscapes. By integrating these elements into its analysis, the book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of diverse yet interconnected processes of urban growth and identifies the key principles for tourism and urban regeneration to foster socio-economic development, urban transformation, and long-term sustainability.

The theory is brought to life through insightful case studies that explore a diverse range of urban tourism destinations, including Dubai, Newcastle, Christchurch, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Taipei. These case studies provide concrete examples of how tourism can contribute to urban regeneration, revitalization, and cultural preservation, while also addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with such developments.

This groundbreaking work is of immense interest to upper-level students and researchers in the fields of Tourism, Geography, Urban Planning, and Policy and Development. It offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective on the complex dynamics between tourism and urban regeneration, providing valuable insights and methodologies for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars alike.
