The paper focuses on a process of symbolic reconstruction of cities, where the existing image or meaning of places is purposely changed with the aim of attracting new investments, events or tourists to a particular city. The process of symbolic reconstruction is situated within the context of growing competition among cities. Symbolic reconstruction also affects tourism development in cities by providing an easily marketed and consumable image and meaning of places. The case of the Cheonggyecheon restoration in Seoul helps in understanding how symbolic reconstruction of cities is related to and affected by competitive urban policy, urban renewal and city marketing. Observing local consequences one can conclude that while the Cheonggyecheon restoration and resulting symbolic reconstruction of the city helped Cheonggyecheon to become the major tourist attraction and icon of global Seoul, it also resulted in a decline in local places and cultures. Such outcomes of urban renewal contradict strategic goals of urban policy and may prevail in the end over the benefits, which the Cheonggyecheon restoration brings to tourism development and everyday life in Seoul.Članak se fokusira na proces simboličke rekonstrukcije gradova, gdje se postojeću sliku, odnosno značenje mjesta, namjerno mijenja s ciljem privlačenja novih investicija, događaja ili turista u određeni grad. Proces simboličke rekonstrukcije pokušava se postaviti u kontekst rastućeg natjecanja između gradova. Simbolička rekonstrukcija također utječe na razvoj turizma u gradovima osiguravajući jednostavan marketing i potrošnju slike i značenja mjestâ. Primjer obnove Cheonggyecheona u Seulu pomaže razumijevanju odnosa i utjecaja između simboličke rekonstrukcije gradova i natjecateljske urbane politike, urbane obnove i marketinga grada. Promatrajući lokalne posljedice može se zaključiti da, dok su obnova Cheonggyecheona i simbolička rekonstrukcija grada koja je iz nje proizišla pomogle da Cheonggyecheon postane glavna turistička atrakcija i ikona globalnoga Seula, ujedno su dovele do propadanja lokalnih mjesta i kultura. Takvi rezultati urbane obnove u suprotnosti su sa strateškim ciljevima urbane politike i mogu na kraju prevladati nad prednostima koje obnova Cheonggyecheona donosi za razvoj turizma i svakidašnji život u Seulu
