Urban Art is gradually assuming an increasingly significant role in the development of a city’s character, something which is often promoted by public institutions. This has been strongly instigated by the rhetoric of creative cities, present in the strategies for the urban development of many cities in recent years. The rising appreciation of this artistic movement and the recognition of the cultural and symbolic role it currently plays are accompanied by a growing offer of tourism services in this field, namely, through dozens of tours operated by multiple entities. The literature has, in fact, been paying some attention to this phenomenon of touristification of Urban Art. In this article, we draw on qualitative empirical material from an ongoing research project on Urban Art in the city of Lisbon. We consider the touristification of Urban Art in Lisbon to be a recent and still ongoing process involving several social actors with specific perspectives, strategies, actions and representations. We have concluded that there is currently a combination of social and economic factors favourable to the development of this process of touristification. This could not have happened without (a) a number of institutional initiatives, (b) local entrepreneurship ventures and (c) the development of a narrative shared by the different agents.

城市艺术旅游化：以里斯本为例

城市艺术在城市品格的发展中正逐渐扮演越来越重要的角色，这通常由公共机构推动。近年来，在许多城市的城市发展战略中都出现了创意城市的言论，这强烈地鼓舞了这一点。人们对这种艺术运动的认识不断提高，并认识到它目前所发挥的文化和象征作用，伴随着该领域旅游服务的提供不断增加，即由多个实体经营的数十次旅行。实际上，文献一直在关注这种城市艺术旅游化现象。在本文中，我们从里斯本市正在进行的有关城市艺术的研究项目中使用定性的经验材料。我们认为里斯本城市艺术的旅游化是一个近期且仍在进行的过程，涉及多个具有特定观点，策略，行动和表现形式的社会参与者。我们得出的结论是，目前有多种社会和经济因素有利于旅游业发展。如果没有（a）一系列机构举措，（b）本地创业企业以及（c）发展由不同代理人共享的叙述，这是不可能发生的。
