translate English to German: Durban started as a small British settlement, but grew around its sugar cane plantation s. The large number of Indian residents in the city, the descendants of coolies brought to work on the plantations, gives the city a unique character. The city developed its tourism facilities, particularly during the 1970s which saw a skyscraper construction boom along the beach front.
