Abstract

Panama is a nation located in Central America. Panama City is the nation's capital and largest city.

In the 19th century, Panama City became an important center for the construction of the Panama Canal. The canal was completed in 1914 and had a profound impact on the development of the country.

This article presents a detailed overview of the early history of civil engineering in Panama. The document begins with an introduction to the city, its location, and its history. The paper then looks at the early history of civil engineering in Panama, including the first roads and bridges. Then at the construction of the Canal, which was a great engineering feat that had a profound impact on the country and the world economy. The document concludes with a discussion of the modern civil engineering landscape in Panama, including the development of the Cinta Costera and the Metro.
