This extended abstract develops an analytical framework, informed by a case-oriented synthesis focused on the Canary Islands (Spain), to examine how such cities can reposition tourism within inclusive and resilient urban agendas. The framework integrates three levers—public-space regeneration, co-governance/co-production, and endogenous value-retention including circular approaches—and relates them to SDG 11.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Arquitecturaconference output10.31428/10317/24224open accessArquitecturaPlanificación urbanaTurismoGoal 11: Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainableGoal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for allGoal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patternsGoal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societiesGoal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
