The Negotiated Urban Landscape: Archaeological Sites and the Creation of the Metropolis of Lima, Peru

Abstract

The process of expansion and modernization of Lima during the 20th century mostly excluded the city’s rich archaeological landscape, leaving these sites without a defined role in the modern city. This article asks how can these places be framed and designed as meaningful, open and democratic urban and historical places of both the past and present.
