Creative Cities, Tourism and Street Art in a Global Frame
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-76373-1 (ISBN)
This book explores the use of street art tourism in eight cities: Barcelona, Paris, Porto, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Montevideo, Bogota and Buenos Aires. While street art and graffiti are perpetually in the process of being discovered by scholars and cultural programmers as a practice full of potential, these contributions offer context and grounding and ask how, in a global setting, such art is used in tandem with tourism practices to interpret, codify, and make value out of space through institutional and community networks.
