The cities in the world experience simultaneous processes of obsolescence and vitality due to their dynamism and importance, since this XXI century is characterized by its urban preeminence, in Latin America, especially in coastal tourist cities, these processes are experienced that rese-mantize the notion of city. This paper discusses the processes that have been articulated around the conformation of two urban areas of Puerto Vallarta that have been subjected, one to real estate pressure processes with urban revitalization efforts for a growing tourist housing market, and another, which it has had large investments of public capital and has not been able to develop the targets for which they were raised in terms of investment, at the same time, some projects are mentioned whose purpose is to re-engineer the destination in order to remain in the world tourism market. Two premises are assumed to be discussed around the tourist city, urban vitality as a multifactorial process that maintains an attractive and vigorous area of the city, and urban obsolescence as a result of parallel and simultaneous processes in the other area of study.

Palabras clave : obsolescence; vitality; gentrification; lifecycle; tourism.
