Resumo: In today’s globalized world, neoliberal capitalism relativizes the State’s role through privatization and de-regulation. In this context, the tourist sector real estate business attracts financial investment, transforming areas into authentic cities through the «flexibilization» of space.

As a case study, different recent restructuring plans and regulations relating to Playa de Palma are used.
