Book Description:
"This book is an extraordinary document, not least because its subject is a truly great city, perhaps the most interesting in the New World."--Andres M. Duany, from the Foreword
From the Publisher:
The book brings to both the academic and general readership an informative yet inviting and accessible volume about one of the world's truly great cities: Havana. Adorned with panoramic promenades along tropical water and hundreds of Spanish colonial structures, the city of Havana has perhaps one of the most widely recongised city-scapes in the world. However, Havana has been clearly tied to swings in the world economy that are visually evident in every corner of the city. This book will sketch the urbanisation of this great world class city over its five hundred year history.
