Lecture 4: Sail Ships and Port Cities

With the discovery of the Americas and the development of the Atlantic trade, numerous cities lost their trade and decayed. The establishment of colonies and the construction of major trade hubs led to the creation of cities such as Havana and many ports in Latin America. With the ships came urban planning concepts that were implemented through the Laws of the Indies and that specified the form of urban plazas, the location and design of churches and many more buildings.
