The rise of Barcelona to prominence among the cities of Europe has been “in part based on its steady amassing of symbolic capital and its accumulation of marks of distinction” from its architectural heritage to its Catalan history. These unique qualities are a source of rents for the tourist industry, which brings homogenizing commodification in its wake, so that “The later phases of waterfront development look like every other in the western world: the stupefying congestion of the traffic leads to pressures to put boulevards through parts of the old city, multinational stores replace local shops … and Barcelona loses some of its marks of distinction.”
