The infrastructure of the city, built 450 years ago, heavily deteriorated during the 1990s after the collapse of the Cuban-Soviet trade partnership. In 1996, restoration projects were started to improve housing and infrastructure in the Cayo Hueso community.

As of 2012, the municipality of Centro Habana had a population of 140,000, with a total area of 4 km2 (1.5 sq mi).
