Old Cities, New Assets: Preserving Latin America's Urban Heritage (Inter-American Development Bank)

By Eduardo Rojas

In only 50 years, the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors established most of the cities that now comprise the cornerstone of urban Latin America. The monuments, buildings and plazas that make up the vast urban heritage continue to define the region's cultural identity and constitute a valuable asset for socioeconomic development. This text explores ways to bring private investors, developers and urban residents into the preservation process, which is beyond the scope of government alone.
