Descripción
Sumario:"This book explores how heritage tourism and globalization are reshaping the Latin American centro historico, analyzing the transformation of the urban core from town plaza to historic center in nine cities: Bogota, Colombia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cartagena, Colombia; Cuenca, Ecuador; Havana, Cuba; Montevideo, Uruguay; Puebla, Mexico; Quito, Ecuador; and Trinidad, Cuba. It tells how these pressures, combined with the advantage of a downtown location, have raised the potential of redeveloping these inner city areas but have also created the dilemma of how to restore and conserve them while responding to new economic imperatives."
"Plazas and Barrios spans all of Spanish-speaking America to address the socio-political dimensions of urban change, exploring the concept of heritage tourism planning as a policy tool. It offers a means for understanding the tensions between the modern and traditional aspects of the built environment in each city and provides a resource for geographers, urban planners, architectural historians, and all concerned with the implications of the emerging global economy."--Jacket.
