Management Strategies in the Comprehensive Rehabilitation of the Historic Centers of Quito and Havana

Comprehensive urban rehabilitation of historic centers, such as those in Quito and Old Havana, can effectively preserve cultural identity while addressing urban growth challenges. This study identifies key management strategies that balance heritage conservation with modern urban needs, offering a comparative analysis of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. By evaluating successes and failures, the research proposes actionable measures to optimize interventions, guiding future decision-making processes. The findings highlight the importance of adaptive approaches in Latin American and Caribbean contexts, where historical centers face complex degradation risks.
