500 años buscando la centralidad de la bahía de La Habana
RESUMEN: Cumplidos los 500 años desde su fundación en el Puerto de Carenas, La Habana, capital de Cuba desde 1607, debe replantearse su relación con la bahía para que se convierta en el vertebrador de la ciudad. El artículo analiza la evolución de esta relación a lo largo de cinco siglos, en los que la bahía se fue convirtiendo en un hecho marginal, lugar de vertidos urbanos e industriales, de manera que hace mucho que dejó de oler a mar. A partir de aquí, y sobre algunos estudios realizados, se apuesta por recuperar la bahía como centralidad urbana, en un modelo socialmente equilibrado y medioambientalmente sostenible.

500 Years Looking for the Centrality of Havana’s Bay
ABSTRACT: After 500 years since its foundation in the Port of Carenas, the city of Havana, capital of Cuba since 1607, must face a redefinition of its relationship with the bay so that it can become the backbone of the city. This article analyzes the evolution of this relationship over five centuries, in which the bay has become marginal as a place of urban and industrial discharges, so that long ago it stopped smelling like the sea. From here, and based on some studies carried out, the aim is to recover the bay as an urban centrality, of a socially balanced and environmentally sustainable model.
