Abstract (EN): This chapter analyses the tourism and urban dynamics transformations of the two leading cities in Portugal – Lisbon and Porto. In a (neo)liberal context and within a process of financialization of the economy, the authors address the political vision of each city, the local stakeholders and residents' evaluation, and public policies analysis. This chapter concludes that the implications of recent transformations are numerous. The process of residential and functional gentrification, resulting mainly from the touristification of the city, and the concomitant growth of the floating population, was slowed down by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, housing and services prices are still high, and the unavailability of housing is indeed a problem. Thus, integrated, strategic, and collaborative planning for sustainable urban development is assumed as a crucial issue for the next decade.
