Ciudades iberoamericanas: captura y revitalización de sus vestigios históricos

The contemporary city grows excessively, overpassing not only the established limits, but also the proposed coding provisions to regulate its development. In Latin American cities, this phenomenon is quite obvious, with almost no exception but a few fragmented cases adapted for tourism, such as Quito, La Habana, Buenos Aires or Salvador de Bahía. All of these cities have been subject to real estate development and speculation, especially along the second half of the twentieth century, including Santiago de Chile. Their historic districts have undergone progressive transformations that havedistorted their very image.
