EVOLUTION OF A WORLD HERITAGE SITE
Eduardo Rojas
The city of Cartagena is located in the Colombian Caribbean Coast Region and forms part of a rapidly growing system of cities that also includes Barranquilla and Santa Marta. This system of cities provides services to the population and contains industrial poles, large port-related activities, and expanding tourism activities. The cities and towns of the region are expanding over a resource-rich but ecologically fragile territory full of marshes and wetlands at the mouths of large rivers.
