The Caribbean City is a singular object; it covers contrasting realities through composite, dense and complex territories. These urban dynamics are imposed in the disorganized spaces inserted marked by extroverted economic logics that are part of the secular history of plantation economies. Urban territories, disjointed, fragmented, juxtapose islands of wealth and pockets of poverty and exclusion.Highlighting the richness and the complexity of this field of investigation which is little studied, it is also aimed to provide a functional guide for studying the Caribbean’s city.
