Spanish urbanizaciones: residential tourism places
Comunicación presentada en 2nd International Workshop on Lifestyle Migration and Residential Tourism, Madrid, March 23-25, 2011. ; The process of modernisation that began on Spain’s Mediterranean coast in the 1960s is a paradigmatic example of urban planning and tourism development focus on the production of urban land demanded by both the national and international real estate markets. The evolution from farming and fishing societies to societies whose economic development is based on the property-related activities has concurred with new social processes, such as the growth of international residential tourism, and intra-European lifestyle migration from central and northern Europe towards the Mediterranean region. In Spain’s Mediterranean region, this framework of new mobility forms and multi-residential lifestyles has been incorporated into an urbanisation process based on the construction of second homes on a massive scale in environments with potential tourist appeal. The geographical manifestation of these dynamics has produced new urban enclaves detached from the traditional urban centres. The distance between such settings alludes to both the irregular distribution of social groups on the territory, and the lack of relationship between these groups. Our first goal is to approach the matter from a quantitative perspective that may allow us to identify the extent of these trends towards the concentration of people with distinct socio-demographic characteristics, in housing estates socially and spatially away from the traditional urban centres on Spain’s Mediterranean coast. Second, we aim to understand, from a qualitative perspective, the circumstances of the European citizens living in those urbanizaciones. Through the analysis of quantitative data from Spain’s Office for National Statistics we can appreciate how the convergence of the tourism function of the second homes with the migration of northern European retirees to coastal areas in southern Spain has generated configurations of the territory, in ...
