    Urban growth, metropolization, and growth management in Latin America and the Caribbean
    (Taylor and Francis, 2022-01-01)
    The recent decades have been characterized by the increasingly prominent role of cities on different scales. They have also been typified by contradictory realities: the maturing of the urbanization process, the deceleration of demographic growth, the concentration of the most important functions in big cities, the growing importance of intermediate cities, an increase in spatial dynamics, and the generalization of urban sprawl and urban areas. From the perspective of urban space, there is growing concern about ecological transition, environmental impacts, and sustainability, given social imbalances and the diversification and integration of different sectors of cities. These processes are also common in Latin American and Caribbean cities, which are among the most urbanized regions in the world. The structural change of this subcontinent in the 20th century is the result of migratory processes, segmentation and shifts in labor markets, large-scale forms of socio-spatial segregation, and the predominance of informal/irregular channels of access to housing and land. However, the 21st century presents new urban circumstances. In this chapter, we discuss: a) the specific characteristics of urban growth, with a special focus on heterogeneity between countries and urban agglomeration scales; b) the increasing prominence of intermediate cities; and c) the metropolitization process and governance at the urban level in recent decades.

    Urbanización y medioambiente: claves para el debate desde América Latina
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-11-24)
    In a global context of generalized urbanization, Latin America is characterized by its high rate of urban population, persistent inequality, and vulnerability to climate change. This article offers a panoramic introduction to the relationship between urbanization and environment, emphasizing the importance of expanding and giving greater attention to this agenda within urban studies. The topics discussed do not exhaust the field, but rather suggest possible research pathways. Moreover, the text helps situate the studies included in this issue of the journal.

    La gran minería y su impacto urbano en el siglo XXI: el suelo periurbano como escenario conflictivo en una ciudad intermedia como Cajamarca
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-07-24)
    During the 20th century, industrial activities linked to the extraction of minerals gave rise to the implementation of settlements or urban neighborhoods as company towns. In the 21st century, mining projects have emerged that focus more on connectivity, which reduces the direct impact on the production of urban spaces. However, its effects on the urban economy can lead to important impacts on urbanization processes. This article analyzes how uncontrolled urban expansion, derived from large-scale mining activity, transforms peri-urban spaces in an intermediate city like Cajamarca: they become scenarios of conflict between rural and urban logic, with changes in land use through notarial means, outside of municipal regulations.
