The Latin American inner city: differences of degree or of kind?

Auteur :
WARD, P.M.

Description :
The substantial literature on US and UK cities is reviewed as it might shed light on convergent processes in Latin American inner cities. The demography is different, and the economy remains vibrant, focusing upon services and small-scale artisan activities. Severe limitations have been imposed on the extent of large-scale urban redevelopment and reinvestment. Cultural and aesthetic influences also militate against a demand from the middle and upper income groups to gentrify the inner city.
