Abstract

Latin America is a leading region in the global urbanization process. Since the end of the twentieth century, the majority of Latin America’s inhabitants have lived in cities. It is estimated that in the next 30 years the urban population will double, and the current surface area of urbanized land will increase threefold. This explosion of urbanization will pose an unprecedented challenge for the cities of the region, in terms of available land, natural resources, and infrastructure needed to accommodate the expansion. One valuable asset that has traditionally played a prominent role in urban development, and that could help confront these problems, is the city center.
