Summary:

Perrottet set out to tell the story of Lima through his plans. For this, he contacted the Peruvian architect Juan Günther Doëring, a great connoisseur of the city's history and owner of one of the most complete collections of city plans from the colonial era to the first half of the 20th century, who supported this interest. Much work later, the book that will be presented is thus a complete tool, which seeks to narrate the history of Lima through the record of it that we Peruvians have made. Author Oliver Perrottet (Basel 1949) lives and works in Lima (Peru) and Zurich. In 1970 HE immigrated to Peru where he independently created a map of the city of Lima. Today he runs the cartographic publishing house LIMA2000. He is ALSO maintaining geographic information systems for Lima and other cities in Peru.
