Overtourism Dystopias and Socialist Utopias: Towards an Urban Armature for DubrovnikFootnote^*

* This paper is inspired by the work we carried out at the Overbooking the City: An International Urban Design workshop, which took place in Dubrovnik between the 20-26th of August 2017, of which Carlo Pisano was a mentor, and Aggelos Panayiotopoulos a participant. We would like to acknowledge the other participants Mirna Udovcic, Ivana Gramatikova, Hana ElShiaty and mentor Ivan Jurićfor a great week of stimulating exchange of ideas and insights.
