Urbanization Like most parts of the world, Latin America is

becoming more urbanized. Urban Primacy – a country in which a

disproportionally large city dominates the urban system and is the center of economic, cultural, and political life.

These cities are 3 to 4 times larger than any other city in the country. Lima, Buenos Aires and Mexico City are examples.

Megalopolis A large urban region formed as multiple cities

grow and begin to merge with one another. For example the cites that make up the Northeast corridor of the USA.

Unfortunately…

The extreme urbanization has caused severe housing shortages.

Growth of squatter settlements or favelas.

Unequal distribution of wealth and a relatively small middle class.

Has led to the growth of an informal economic sector. EXAMPLE: drug trade

LAND

Ownership of land has always been an indicator of wealth or status in Latin America. EXAMPLE: Hacienda

Encomienda System In Colonial Latin America most people had to

work very hard to earn a living from the land.
