Abstract

La limitacion de la informacion disponible, reduce las posibilidades metodologicas de deteccion de areas metropolitanas en America Latina, al uso de ciertas definiciones operacionales que consideran ccriterios de densidad e interaccion espacial, distinguiendo e nucleos y aglomeraciones metropolitanas. Individualizadas de este modo, se observa que su distribucion geografica en el continente es marcadamente periferica, con toda seguridad, respondiendo a la orientacion hacia afuera de las economicas regionales. Sin embargo, en esta distribucion es facil descubrir tres agrupamientos diferentes derivados de relaciones y situaciones historicas particulares. Se hacen algunas consideraciones sobre la evolucion demografica de las areas metropolitanas durante el siglo XX, destacandose la incidencia del ritmo de crecimiento de la poblacion total y su tendencia a concentrarse en un reducido numero de localidades, cuya velocidad de crecimiento supera en mucho el valor medio regional.
