Like other cities built under the government of Spain by the Law of the Indies,Havana at least conform to the legislation that cities needed to be laid out in a grid pattern around a single central plaza, which was to house the main public, civic and religious buildings, including the church, palace governors and so on. In addition to the main square, Havana has several places, including the Plaza de Armas, Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza de San Francisco and Old Town Square.
The city grew rapidly during the nineteenth century, forcing the local government to introduce planning laws in 1818 and 1862, queregula land use and construction of new urban and suburban neighborhoods..
The new project had to be exposed in a network plan which included the width of the streets and increased from 6 million to 14 million Demetros in the suburbs (compare, for example, the streets of Havana Vieja with Centro Habana and Vedado, which were developed largely after the introduction of planning laws).

Vedado is one of the new neighborhoods of Havana. It is built when American influence on the island was at its peak, after the Spanish-American War.

The influence of American wealth is clearly visible in the residential area of Miramar, which was designed in a similar way the garden American city. In the early years of the revolution, wealthy white residents of this neighborhood, were the first to leave Cuba.
The houses are mainly made in multiple dwellings and homes of students or are being used as rehabilitation centers aimed at training people (eg prostitutes in certain professions. Some of these houses were assigned to government workers.
Today, while some of the houses are in a state of disrepair, this area still has a sense of wealth compared to other areas of Havana and parts of Miramar being restored. Some of the big houses are now embassies, while others are based Cuban joint ventures.
