The Organizing Committee is glad to inform you that the Call for Papers 
of the 6th conference on visuality and 3th conference on tourism vs 
heritage “Visuality 2017: Tourism vs Urban Heritage in a Creative City” 
is open.

Introduction
According to C. Landry, R. Florida and other scholars, a creative city 
values cultural heritage and attracts tourists. Visual treasures attract 
people.  Unfortunately, a large flow of short-term tourists increases 
noise, pollution and even crime.  Heritage and tourism appear as two 
uncoordinated strategies instead of two sides of the same trend. This 
contradiction puzzles urban policy makers. It hurts a city’s image. A 
lack of clear direction in a city’s development is a bad signal for 
investors. What visual ecology could make sense of these dilemmas?  What 
should the policy of a creative city be with regard to the tensions 
between tourism and urban heritage?  How do we conceive and visualize a 
creative city in the face of these contradictions? Which multimedia 
technologies are most promising for solution of creative city problems?
