The 16th International Symposium on Challenges in the Administration and Management of Cities left firsts in its farewell, gratitude to the participants and the invitation to return in 2026 to focus on challenges and opportunities of the historic urban landscape.

 Among the publicly assumed legacies of another era with a divergent regime and ideology in relation to the current political system, the Lectura del Bando (Reading of the Proclamation) in Camagüey reinforces as a tradition the practice of discourse from power.

We had not been able to see the city for days. A cloud of dust everywhere. Scaffolding and house painters. The noisy and hurried work of builders to finish the work, because even at home when we don't set a date for our goals, we leave things for later... and then we don't do anything.

 The disclosure of the heritage value in the generations of tomorrow and the results of the multiple findings made by the workers of the Research Directorate of the Office of the Historian of the City of Camagüey (OHCC), are displayed in the sample Archaeological Vision , in that emblematic institution, as part of the activities that add a taste of knowledge to this holiday stage.
