%X the aim of this paper is to analyse how barcelona£¿s economic growth since the 1990s has been based on the production of advanced services, in which image creation and tourism have played a key role. in this context, we emphasise the role played by macro-events, such as the 1992 olympic games, which have brought about important changes to barcelona£¿s economic model, and we highlight the importance of public-private partnerships and strategic planning. additionally, we analyse the economic impact of tourism upon the city in the period 1990-2010, and we conclude with some reflections on the implications upon public space entailed by this growth strategy.
