Marbella: An Urban Case Study by Michel Cruz, Wayne Chasan y Luiyo Vázquez (DELIVERY TO EU ONLY)

A unique look at the evolution of Marbella, from a small fishing village to a glamorous resort, and now a young cosmopolitan city.

More typically, the question ‘Why Marbella?’ precedes a rationale as to why one should move to this stylish coastal town in the sunniest part of Europe. In our case, it serves to offer the raison d’être of this book.

MARBELLA – AN URBAN CASE STUDY is a labour of love following the concept and text of Michel Cruz, the images of Wayne Chasan and the illustrations of Luiyo Vázquez, with layout by Miriam Bidondo. It takes an honest and impartial look at the unique journey of Marbella since its founding as a luxurious international destination.

Marbella’s rapid transformation from a sleepy fishing village to a world-renowned resort – and now a growing cosmopolitan city – is a fascinating example of the evolution of seaside resorts into urban landscapes.

It is a process that comes with its own characteristics, challenges and opportunities, and as such produces a non-typical case study in modern urban development.
