Resumo: This study exposes the dialogue between territorial urban planning issues in the cities of Paraty (BR) and Aveiro (PT) in terms of urban planning legislation and its interface with urban growth and tourism. Both cities anchor their tourist marketing in the peculiar image of the river and the boats, searching for references in Venice, an image that exposes them as unique tourist destinations in their respective countries. With the increase in tourism, the new urban demands and dynamics are beginning to mediate territorial conicts that were not previously exposed, such as disorderly growth, congestion, environmental problems, real estate speculation and socio-spatial conicts. After all, how does tourism affect urban planning? Seeking to answer this question, this study compares these two tourist destinations. Its objective is to nd the territorial planning disparities when the urban dynamics caused by tourism and the tools of territorial urban planning overlap. The method used was the analysis of the most important legislation in force in each city, the qualitative examination of the urban spaces, the analysis in satellite images, and technical visits to the urban management bodies or exchange of e-mails. It was veried that the urban dynamics are intensied with the propulsion of tourism and are not followed and controlled by the legislation and urban master plans. As a consequence, urban problems and their impacts on urban space are deepened by increasing tourist demands.
