MED NET(S): from Mediterranean Dream Cities to Mediterranean. Multi- cities Dream. Towards a Mediterranean Intelligent Coast Networks

Until very recently the tourist experience has tended to be located in a way too concentrated and endogenous, associated, frequently, to different dream cities or dream lands or attractor site-paradises to be visited, experienced or enjoyed (generally “para-urban” vacation destinations” associated to the 4 famous “S”, Sea, Sun, Sand, Sex – more Stressless – and possible routes or circuits of proximity) more than authentic and distributed plural and multi-experiential realities (Gausa, Pérez; 2011). But the touristic processes has curiously anticipated – closer to advertising marketing than to strategic planning – referential poly-nuclear “sets”, understood as possible “territorial set calls” (“Coasts”, named and identified). In this sense, the change of scale of the contemporary city but also the poly-nuclear as poly-relational equations that occur in it, allow us to propose a new combination in which it would not only be about speaking of Dream Cities, Dream Destinations (or Dream Coasts) but of authentic Intelligent Coast Networks. This text wants to contribute to understand the current importance of the notions of multi-city, geo-urbanity and network-territories applied to tourism and its ability to "connect, distribute and solve", in a more holistic way, many of the issues that affect the equation "Tourism + Territory + Transversality” and its conjugation with a coast able to be not only attractive and attracting but resilient and intelligent – resili(g)ent – in its strategically shared configuration, paradoxically, linear and networked at the same time.
