Over the past 25 years, Havana's historic center has undergone significant transformations, particularly in the Plaza Vieja or Old Town Square, which was central to a UNESCO-led international restoration campaign initiated in 1982. This study provides detailed insights into the urban and social rehabilitation process, highlighting key stakeholders, management strategies, and demographic changes within the neighborhood. The research offers valuable data on housing evolution and the implementation of a unique management model, contributing to global urban conservation practices.
