description Using Bariloche city as a case study and a conceptual perspective of resilient cities, in this article we propose an analysis of specific aspects of this international tourist destination such as its functions as an intermediate city and its economic, urban and demographic dynamics. In Bariloche, increasingly globalized logics of speculation and accumulation of capital can be seen from the commodification of leisure and urban land. The effects are new territorial configurations characterized by inequality and the ‘tourist city’ – ‘resident city’ dichotomy. Alongside with a low economic-productive diversification, these characteristics generates a marked vulnerability to adverse exogenous, low on-set or sudden, events (catastrophes, climate change, political macroeconomic or political and social crises). The research seeks to generate and complement experiences to investigate the capacity of resilience developed, or to be develop, which should be considered crucial not only for the sustainability of the tourist destination, but also to guarantee the territorial interplay functions of Bariloche. It also opens the debate and reflection on the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of public policies and the role of main actors involved in the city.
