In: The annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Band 316, S. 111-120

Abstract

The swelling pop's & sweeping soc & econ transformations which are now working themselves out in Latin America cannot fail to be reflected in those sensitive barometers of change: cities. More than one quarter of the Z pop now lives in cities of 20,000 or + , & the present surge of Ur growth shows little sign of having run its course. The traditional pattern of first-city supremacy has intensified rather than weakened with modernization. Despite programs of econ development, Ur areas still have a low level of industrialization. AA.
