description Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic is from a euro-centric point of view ‘the first city of the New World’. Its historical monuments bear witness to this special status: the first convent, the first university, the colonial-city checkerboard; Plateresque architecture of Spain from the 15th and 16th centuries. This rich colonial history is for the international tourism. This cultural richness is one of the explanatory factors of the gentrification process in Santo Domingo, a process that essentially concerns the colonial city. Many investments are made in this specific area. Our article proposes to make the link between tourism development into the colonial city and socio-spatial changes.
