BAPTISTA, Luís Vicente; NOFRE, Jordi  and  JORGE, Maria do Rosário. Temporary mobility in the tourist city: The case of the historic center of Lisbon. Forum Sociológico [online]. 2020, n.36, pp.47-55.  Epub Aug 02, 2021. ISSN 0872-8380.  https://doi.org/10.4000/sociologico.9152.

The emergence of “new” mobilities makes homo/mulier mobilis a key player in our cities. Visitors, tourists, university students and transnational migrants change and re-signify urban day-by-day in multiple ways, shaping a new social topography of consumption in this mobile digital age. In this sense, tourism as a form of temporary mobility has visible impacts on territories, urban and global. This article aims to contribute, through a sociological perspective, to the understanding of the changes observed in particular urban contexts, highlighting the case of Lisbon city centre through an approach of mobility, both in its different phenomenological scales (transnational/urban/micro-local) and its multiple players, practices and territorial dynamics.

Keywords : tourism; urban changes; mobility; Lisbon.
