Havana Forever

Havana has always been a dynamic city, and its unique architecture makes it one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Until recently, the closed nature of contemporary Cuban society has frozen and preserved much of Havana's urban design and simultaneously prevented many visitors from experiencing its wide range of architectural influences, which cross-reference to create a stunning, unified "work of art." In this documentary-style history of old Havana, readers are invited to tour the city's buildings alongside its culture, people, plazas and parks, pedestrian environment, monuments, food, music, dance, colonial history, and iconic traditions, from cigars to the Tropicana Supper Club. Learn why Havana has the classic order, neighborhood balance, architectural elegance, and pedestrian harmony that urban planners long for, and discover the ways in which it is not just a city but a celebration of the Cuban way of life and its Creole roots.

Havana a fost intotdeauna un oras dinamic, iar arhitectura sa unica il face unul dintre cele mai frumoase orase din lume. Pana de curand, natura inchisa a societatii cubaneze contemporane a inghetat si pastrat o mare parte din designul urban al Havanei si a impiedicat simultan multi vizitatori sa experimenteze o gama larga de influente arhitecturale, care se refera incrucisat pentru a crea o „opera de arta” uimitoare si unificata. In aceasta istorie in stil documentar a Havanei vechi, cititorii sunt invitati sa viziteze cladirile orasului alaturi de cultura sa, oameni, piete si parcuri, mediu pietonal, monumente, mancare, muzica, dans, istorie coloniala si traditii iconice, de la trabucuri la Tropicana Supper Club.
