<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&#39;times new roman&#39; , serif">The material concerns the analysis of urban development strategies conducted as part of a research project – task: WP4, in which the role of spatial planning instruments and development strategies in the process of tourist gentrification of cities is examined. This study examines how urban development strategies create conditions that may foster tourist gentrification despite their pro-social framing.The analyzed issues are grouped into the following categories: (I) City center function, (II) Approach to tourism; (III) Housing–tourism interface (gentrification); (IV) Operational tools. The identification of provisions in urban development strategies was carried out based on an adopted evaluation scale:1 – hidden precursor; 2 – strong signal; 3 – explicit provision; 4 – strategic gaps.</span></p>
