Diría que bastantes. La principal es que los vecinos de dichas ciudades han abandonado la idea de usar esos espacios concretos. Evidentemente, un ciudadano de Barcelona difícilmente renunciará al simbolismo de las Ramblas o del Parc Güell ni uno de Heidelberg renunciará al castillo de la ciudad. Pero a la práctica, los ciudadanos de cada ciudad turística han abandonado los espacios más turísticos en favor de los visitantes. Pocos ciudadanos de San Francisco van al Fisherman’s Wharf si no es para acompañar a algún amigo que está de visita. Pero a la vez, nadie va a renunciar a emocionarse si algún extranjero le dice cuanto le encantó pasear por allí.

Is it possible to find a compromise between visitors and locals? Is it possible to know the number of visitors before the neighbors stop using an area of the city. There is a risk that a city depends on tourism to such an extent that their tourist areas lose their sense, that made them famous?
Somehow, a similar thing happens in nature parks ruins of ancient civilizations. The archaeological value must be maintained to keep the interest. Use abuse can damage the heritage which in turn if damaged loses value. Ease of calculation and the need to create sustainable spaces have been planning up to visitors. Machu Picchu is an example of misuse which is until 2017 quarantined for possible closure if you want to keep the category of world wonder. A city may have to consider similar measures before the city that you love disappear?
