| Sumario: | The province of San Juan has suffered the consequences of violent natural events such as floods and earthquakes. Historical documentary records attest to their severity, their physical consequences, and the political projects they generated: changes in the city and infrastructure projects.
The San Juan River Valley (Tulum and Ullún-Zonda) is home to almost the entire population of San Juan, along with its earthquake-resistant homes. The earthquakes of 1894, 1944, and 1977, the most devastating on record, produced a series of immediate urban changes and prompted a search for solutions to their destructive effects.
This paper explores the historical documentary evidence from a different perspective, establishing the relationship between earthquake, city, and urban change. |
