Abstract:	Affordable housing, sustainable cities and decent lives are at the front page of political, social and economic discussions. With the growing number of population living in cities and the growing global inequalities, fair and equal urbanisation needs to be at the chore of the debate. Gentrification is the tag defining the socioeconomic transformations happening in many neighbourhoods worldwide, where the working class is displaced from their place of residence in favour of higher social classes and for the sake of the capitalists' profits. The causes are numerous and diverse, but one of them is repeated in many Mediterranean cities: tourism. This thesis studies the literature on the production of urban space in capitalist economies with the aim of conducting a quantitative analysis of the process taking place in the district of Sants-Montjuïc, Barcelona. Through the elaboration of a gentrification index, we can corroborate how the seven neighbourhoods are undergoing such process. Moreover, through the analysis of the touristification indicators we can prove that tourism has a big impact in our gentrification study case.
