Abstract

Mass tourism becomes a new challenge for mid-20th century urbanism. Costa Brava adopts the garden-city model from elite-tourism and introduces Modern Movement contributions. The coast is used as an experimental territory where two different models converge, the garden city and the functionalist one. Despite the difficulties of the early years, the new urban tissues have specific characters, and the relationship between the buildings and their context show a clear difference respect the previous city. In the eighties the new municipal plans face the deficiencies generated by the fast growth not taking into account the specificities of the touristic city. This same approach is currently extended, not recognizing the identity of tissues and architectures of the pioneering period of the tourist urbanism.
