Using a series of thought-provoking case studies, the authors cover key topics including edutourism and urban nightlife, the nighttime economy, festivalization, proximity and heritage tourism, touristification of urban spaces, and destination image. Ultimately, the book offers an example of activist science committed to more just, inclusive and sustainable cities.Written in an accessible style, this book provides an incisive study of this increasingly important area of research for students of tourism studies, leisure studies and urban studies. The invigorating case studies also make this an important book for urban planners and policy makers.
