Maputo, cidade aberta – Maputo, open city

Fabio Vanin (2013). Maputo, cidade aberta – Maputo, open city.



The book is the result of the investigation conducted in the Mozambican Capital by the author for his Ph.D in Urbanism (IUAV University of Venice, IT) and aims at highlighting some of the most relevant urban, architectural, social and cultural features of the city that are today confronted with the rapid transformations caused by the economic growth of the country. This delicate moment poses urgent questions on the future urban development that is divided by opposed forces: the ambition of becoming another Dubai and the struggle of keeping the existing identity.
