Havanna city seawall: The Malecón in Havana, Cuba (workplan)

TL;DRAbstract

Havana City is situated on the north coast of the Republic of Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean Sea. Because of Spanish and African influences Havana is one of the most picturesque cities of the western hemisphere. In the 18* and 19* century a part of the city that lies adjacent to the sea, the Malecón, has developed until today into a beautiful boulevard with a great historic and cultural value and acts at the same time as coastal protection. After a lack of maintenance for more than 40 years, the Malecón area is getting a revitalization project.\nFrom here on we will only look at the seawall part of the Malecón, that is taking care of the coastal protection. The main problem is that the Malecón is frequently overtopped by waves and occasionally flooded due to bad weather in the Gulf of Mexico. To solve this problem we will develop a solution in cooperation with the Havana University and the Hydraulic Investigation Centre, that prevents future inundation and wave overtopping,
