Summary
Research identifies four key areas in Genoa's historic center where ground-floor commercial activity drives public space touristification, revealing how commercial gentrification and privatization intersect. The study employs a novel methodology combining indicators to analyze the relationship between ground-floor activity and touristification at the unit of public space level, offering an integrated approach that transcends previous isolated analyses. This framework highlights the spatial dynamics of touristification in historic port cities, providing actionable insights for urban planning.
