Venice, Amsterdam and Barcelona are often quoted as suffering badly, while further afield Jakarta, Bangkok, Xi\u2019an and Auckland are reported to be facing increasing pressures. Even in the UK, newspapers eagerly publicise stories of tense relationships between communities, businesses, city administrations and visitors in places as diverse as Edinburgh, Cambridge, York and Bath.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the reality is always more complex than the headlines suggest, and the pressures and pinch points differ from one city location to another. Each has a unique set of issues. What causes a flash point, and what makes a good story in the media may be down to specific transportation and mobility issues around a location, building uses and service offerings in the area, or retail and development pressures. Another factor may be visitor behaviour in highly localised physical, social, policy and business environments. Blanket terms such as \u2018overtourism\u2019 are unhelpful and usually inaccurate if applied to an entire city.<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designingbuildings.co.uk\/wiki\/Cities,_heritage,_tourism_and_the_historic_environment_professional\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> at DBW<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/designingbuildings.us4.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=d574d9ea2afa87f3015d176f3&amp;id=b0e8c9e30b\">Sign up<\/a> to the DBW Newsletter circulation<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/Yearbook\/2020Yearbook\/10\/index.html\">Read<\/a> the original article<\/p>\n<p>For more see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/page55\/yearbook\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yearbook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designing Buildings Wiki (DBW) \u2013 host platform for the IHBC\u2019s Conservation Wiki and the \u2018construction industry knowledge base\u2019 \u2013 has featured the IHBC\u2019s 2020 Yearbook article on heritage and tourism by Prof Ian Baxter\u00a0 &#8211; a member of the IHBC\u2019s &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=29284\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29284"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29286,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29284\/revisions\/29286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
