Keywords:
coal mining, urban development, historical developmentAbstract
The aim of this research work was to study the urban development and the architectural heritage of the city of Lebu. The specifi c aims were: 1) to review the diff erent stages or urban periods of the city, and 2) to study a key period in history where architecture reaches its peak.
The methodology consisted of: a) the review of data in the form of photographs, historical and contemporary plans; interviews with key informers and local historicists; and also a literature review of the scarce bibliography related to the city; b) the registry of architectural heritage, the description of the building based on historical and contemporary photographs; and c) the analysis of recent urban development of the city and the value that the community assigns to its architectural heritage. The three stages converged in the reinterpretation of historical plans and architectural drawings.
The review and analysis of this information and the dissemination of the results is one of the main contributions of this work.
