Harare - Urban Evolution: A Photographic History

Harare: Urban Evolution - A Photographic History is the story of the rise of the buildings of Harare, focused mainly on the city centre from 1890 to the millennium. The city is presented in before-and-after photos, with some views taken from varied perspectives, including aerial. Chapters deal with alternately slack and rapid periods of development from the 1950s to the end of the Federal Era showing the transformation of a provincial town into a modern metropolis. The book ends with the downward spiral of the economy after 1997, followed by studies of various aspects of Harares historical landmarks and amenities.
