Latin America is one of the most urbanized regions worldwide (UN, 2008). Urban expansion and suburbanization are well-established and common phenomena, particularly in the larger agglomerations and megacities in the region. However, the profound social, ecological and economic implications of these processes have only recently — with some delay in comparison to the United States (US) or Europe — started to become a major concern of urban analysts and policy-makers across the continent.KeywordsUrban DevelopmentUrban ExpansionSocial HousingUrban SprawlCentral Business DistrictThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
