Latin American Urbanization: Historical Profiles of Major Cities

This volume provides information on the urban experience in Latin America. Following a general overview, the work includes chapters devoted to urbanisation in specific countries. Each chapter begins with an introduction providing geographic information and a survey of the nation’s urban development, and then includes historical profiles of 90 selected cities, as well as maps. Thus, the work provides both national and city-specific perspectives. Chapters also provide a list of bibliographic resources.
