For example, among these problems, there is, in the highest expression, precisely tourism with its dual nature of being, at the same time, a development opportunity and a generator of negative impacts such as overcrowding, noise pollution, environmental pollution, energy consumption, water consumption, waste production. 71 The relationship between the city and tourism is therefore a complex one that requires, and will require in the future, more up-to-date forms of shared administration and active citizenship72 capable of generating new management skills of an interdisciplinary matrix that far from determining rifts in favor of one or the other, i.e., in favor of an urban carrying capacity that is increasingly violated and, therefore, susceptible to protection, or in favor of an increasingly compulsive blindfolded market that nonetheless promises good flourishes, knows, conversely, how to graft between city and tourism a more farsighted metaxù in the relationship of which there can be benefit for all to the detriment of none.73 The ability to reformulate such a relationship with a view to sustainability also through an operational synergy between the public and private sectors represents not only a possibility, but a sure promise inherent in the evolution of our cities toward a reasoned hospitality-oriented smart city dimension in smartness74 where, therefore, sustainable tourism more than as an additional type of travel will be able to rise as an organizing model to mitigate and redirect the negative impacts arising from the hyperperfusion of tourist flows on the urban load, on the territory, and therefore on the environment.75 e fruibilità dei beni di interesse pubblico.

Scoca, Shared administration in social services: a complex road yet to be traveled, in Diritto dell’Economia, 3-2021. 73 For an increasingly urgent grafting into the various procedural and active administration activities of such broad thinking, read the wise observations of S. Veca, The Great City of Mankind, Mursia 2015. 74 Italy is among the top 5 most visited destinations in the world, but the tourism sector contributes only 10 percent to the national GDP. If culture alone were enough to attract tourists, Athens would be the favored half par excellence, just as if landscapes alone were enough, the Caribbean would be overrun with visitors. Today to be competitive, one must know how to innovate. One has to meet the needs of tourists, capture their attention in a smart way while managing to keep up with the times. This seems to be, to date, the lack that disadvantages Italy most of all. 75 In the sign, for example, of what is ethically advocated by N.
