Abstract |
About one third of the world's population is slum dwellers living either in the fringes or the inner city itself. In the case of American Spanish colonial cities, most Historic Urban Centres have prog...ressively become slum areas, therefore this paper aims to illustrate the poor physical conditions of residential environment of La Paz focusing on conventillo housing typology, which comprises an important alternative for low-income households who prefer to live in inner city. This study shows a comparative analysis between both, east and west, HUC areas due to the city's original foundation where Spaniards conquerors settled down in place of the former Indians, that has influenced in the development of the target area. The research is based on the field survey on the physical and socio-economic features and clarifies the differences and shared characteristics between both areas that will provide useful information for improvement.show more
