Town Planning Associates, was a design firm in New York City,^[1] that included Paul Lester Wiener, Paul Schulz, Josep Lluis Sert, which controlled urban design and city planning in various new or existing South American cities including Bogotá, Chimbote in Peru, and Havana. Sert’s master plan for Havana, Havana Plan Piloto [1], was notable for its integration of natural landscape into new urban and existing building schemes. Town Planning Associates made prominent use of patios and other aspects of Mediterranean architecture adapted to South and Central America.
