Mauritius has progressed from a low-income, agriculture-based economy to a high-income, diversified economy focused on tourism, textiles, sugar, and financial services since its independence from Britain in 1968. Mauritius’ economic history after independence has been dubbed “the Mauritian Miracle” and “Africa’s Success” (Romer, 1992; Frankel, 2010; Stiglitz, 2011). In recent years, vital areas like as information and communication technology, fisheries, hotel and property development, healthcare, renewable energy, and education and training have grown, attracting significant investment from both domestic and foreign companies. Mauritius lacks exploitable fossil fuel sources and hence relies on petroleum products to supply the majority of its energy needs. Biomass, hydro, solar, and wind energy are examples of local and renewable energy sources.

Architecture

The island country of Mauritius’ unusual architecture is a reflection of its past as a colonial trading post linking Europe and the East. A distinctive hybrid architecture of significant historical, social, and artistic value was created by the styles and forms that Dutch, French, and British settlers brought to the region beginning in the seventeenth century. These styles and forms were combined with East African and Indian influences. The historical background of the Indian Ocean and European colonisation is revealed by the range of designs, materials, and ornamental features seen in Mauritius constructions. Culturally significant buildings in Mauritius are routinely destroyed as a result of decades of political, social, and economic development. The traditional dwellings of the island’s high grounds, referred to locals as campagnes, vanished at alarming rates between 1960 and 1980.

Plantations, homes, and public buildings have all been demolished in more recent years as they have been removed or extensively refurbished to make way for new construction to support the booming tourism sector. Although Port Louis’s capital city was mostly intact until the middle of the 1990s, it today shows the irreparable harm done to its constructed history. Increasing land values in Mauritius compete with the cultural significance of ancient buildings, and it is more difficult to invest in preservation because maintenance is so expensive and traditional building techniques are steadily disappearing.
