Havana booming and conserving
Soon after the foundation in 1519 Ha-vana became, as a fact of it‘s strategic posi-tion at the entrance of the american continent, the most important harbour for military and trade in the spanish colonies. According to a general law, Habana vieja was built on a typi-cal orthogonal street grid. Sugar, slavery and other trade brought a continuously increasing wealth to its population and old town Havanna expanded to the west where monumental pal-aces with marvellous colonnades created new Habana centro.
In the 19th century the existing town at the harbour became too dense and sticky for the upper class and new clusters for the bour-geoisie developed along the seaside (vedado) and on the hill (cerro). Although following the orthogonal street grid, it was turned ac-cording to the situation. The typology of the blocks and streets changed to a wider garden city character.
The first decades of the 20th century brought another booming economy ”danza de los milliones” and the population doubled in a short while. Important monuments like the capitolio and the malecon were built with US-support.
As an effect of the prohibition in north america (1919-1932) drugs, gambling and prostitution became the dominant role in the new Caribbean Vegas with its growing skyline and hotel boom.
The city‘s fate changed after the revolu-tion in 1959, speculative development came to an abrupt halt and first slum clearance projects were started and conservation be-came a significant concern in city planing. El-egant neighbourhoods such as Miramar were almost abandoned by their emigrating own-ers, bourgeois mansions were converted into schools, dormitories and hospitals.
The architectural concentration on Ha-vana was replaced by a decentralized invest-ment of the land infrastructure and only few but good projects for havana were realized.
In the 70th and 80th an intense coopera-tion with the soviet union led to several pre-fab socialist housing settlements in the east. The soviet breakdown in 1989 pushed cuba into a deepvv economic crisis with serious in-frastructure problems.

Havana booming and conserving
Soon after the foundation in 1519 Ha-vana became, as a fact of it‘s strategic posi-tion at the entrance of the american continent, the most important harbour for military and trade in the spanish colonies. According to a general law, Habana vieja was built on a typi-cal orthogonal street grid. Sugar, slavery and other trade brought a continuously increasing wealth to its population and old town Havanna expanded to the west where monumental pal-aces with marvellous colonnades created new Habana centro.
In the 19th century the existing town at the harbour became too dense and sticky for the upper class and new clusters for the bour-geoisie developed along the seaside (vedado) and on the hill (cerro). Although following the orthogonal street grid, it was turned ac-cording to the situation. The typology of the blocks and streets changed to a wider garden city character.
The first decades of the 20th century brought another booming economy ”danza de los milliones” and the population doubled in a short while. Important monuments like the capitolio and the malecon were built with US-support.
As an effect of the prohibition in north america (1919-1932) drugs, gambling and prostitution became the dominant role in the new Caribbean Vegas with its growing skyline and hotel boom.
The city‘s fate changed after the revolu-tion in 1959, speculative development came to an abrupt halt and first slum clearance projects were started and conservation be-came a significant concern in city planing. El-egant neighbourhoods such as Miramar were almost abandoned by their emigrating own-ers, bourgeois mansions were converted into schools, dormitories and hospitals.
The architectural concentration on Ha-vana was replaced by a decentralized invest-ment of the land infrastructure and only few but good projects for havana were realized.
In the 70th and 80th an intense coopera-tion with the soviet union led to several pre-fab socialist housing settlements in the east. The soviet breakdown in 1989 pushed cuba into a deepvv economic crisis with serious in-frastructure problems.
By a slight opening to free trade market and a consequent investment in tourism Cuba reached some rebound.

Historical Periodization of Urban Structure_Catalogue
During the 19th century cuban baroque palaces were reconstructed into multy family houses or ”ciudadelas”.
Ciudadelas adapted in post-colonial times the form of long corridors of one room dwellings with collective sanitary facilities at the end.
During the 19th century vedado was growing.Hotels, freestanding country houses and sportclubs were built till now. The high percentage of urban greenspace, like parks and green avenues are characteristic for the today‘s booming center.
Miramar was a neighborhood where the ruling class had resided in their bourgeois mansions. After the revolution it became almost completely abandoned and the houses were converted into schools, dormitories and hospitals.Today we can find lots of buisness offices and embassies,which are located along the ”Fifht Ave.”.
Ciudadelas are a modified version of the former servants quarters in the rear part of colonial mansions.
After revolutionaryconstructionof prefabricatedsocial masshouses.

MonumentsThe declared Monuments are spread overHong Kong with a dense on hongkong island. Better visible is the distribution on the timeline. One tend to say, declared monuments must be older than 70 years. Even though most of monuments are of a chinese origin. Also few of them are of the british colonialtime. Modern monuments are really rare. An Example leading into this dirction could be the Morrison Building.

MonumentsThe declared Monuments are spread overHong Kong with a dense on hongkong island. Better visible is the distribution on the timeline. One tend to say, declared monuments must be older than 70 years. Even though most of monuments are of a chinese origin. Also few of them are of the british colonialtime. Modern monuments are really rare. An Example leading into this dirction could be the Morrison Building.
