Apologies for my countrymen and their '1001 things you can do with concrete', which spoilt many a town center over here too. Saying that, some of the more extreme examples should be preserved: http://architecture.about.com/library/ucsouthbank.htm I was just reading an article about the need to save Cuban architecture as there are many many amazing buildings built in the 50's & 60's that are just crumbling. The problem is that all the rest of the buildings are turning slowly to dust too, so it would be too easy just to pour money into restoring pretty turn of the century town houses and the like. I just hope that when Cuba finally does open up the ModCommer's get there before Big Business pulls everything down. Trader Woody
