Text concentrates on three major topics: 1) an adjustment of theoretical and practical approaches to the rehabilitation of historic centers with an emphasis on policy; 2) the identification of the main threats that historic centers, towns, and cities will face in the future; and 3) the presentation of selected initiatives carried out during the last decade. Well documented with an abundance of footnotes, an appendix of statistical tables, illustrations, and exhaustive bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
