Resumo (PT): ES: Porto ha vivido cambios económicos y sociales significativos en las últimas décadas, estrechamente vinculados a la evolución de su sector turístico. Esta investigación examina las vulnerabilidades puestas de manifiesto por la pandemia de COVID-19 en esta ciudad turística y sigue los cambios resultantes. Realizamos un análisis de un conjunto de variables centrándonos en los cambios ocurridos durante dos periodos distintos: durante y después del COVID-19. Los datos se analizan mediante enfoques longitudinales, comparativos y espaciales. Los resultados indican la alta exposición del sector turístico de Porto a la demanda internacional. Actualmente, el crecimiento del sector turístico supera los niveles de 2019 y persisten los desafíos relacionados con el desarrollo turístico y su impacto en las comunidades locales. A pesar de los esfuerzos por diversificar el turismo, el paisaje general parece en gran medida inalterado desde el escenario previo a la pandemia. Las vulnerabilidades resaltadas durante la pandemia deberían guiar el desarrollo hacia un futuro más sostenible. Es crucial mantener la multifuncionalidad de las ciudades, especialmente en las áreas más turísticas, garantizando el mantenimiento de las funciones residenciales, económicas y administrativas.
Abstract (EN): Porto has undergone significant economic and social changes in recent decades, closely intertwined with the evolution of its tourism sector. This research examines the vulnerabilities brought to light by the COVID-19 pandemic of this tourist city and tracks the resultant changes. We conducted an analysis of a set of variables focusing on the changes that have occurred during two distinct periods: during and post COVID-19. The data are analysed through longitudinal, comparative, and spatial approaches. The findings indicate the high exposure of Porto's tourism sector to international demand. Currently, the tourism sector growth exceeds 2019 levels and the challenges related to tourism development and its impact on local communities persist. Despite efforts to diversify tourism, the overall landscape seems largely unchanged from the pre-pandemic scenario. The vulnerabilities highlighted during the pandemic should guide the development towards a more sustainable future. It is crucial to maintain the multifunctionality of cities, particularly in the most tourist-driven areas, accommodating diverse activities alongside tourism, including residential, economic, and administrative functions
