Coexistence, safety and prevention
Promoting coexistence between visitors to Barcelona and the residents of the city’s most tourist-heavy neighbourhoods is one of the key priorities of municipal management. To this end, the City Council is launching various initiatives to promote civic behaviour and share the local culture with visitors.
The intensity and concentration of tourist activity can lead to a deterioration of coexistence and have a negative impact on the quality of life of residents. Additionally, urban areas with high tourist activity are particularly vulnerable when it comes to safety concerns.
This is why, to manage these aspects, it is essential to use the various tools available to the local authorities to ensure harmonious coexistence between tourist and non-tourist uses, ranging from specific regulations to communication campaigns and mediation services.
