Abstract

Since the end of the 80s of the last century, in cities and metropolitan areas, both worldwide and in Latin America, there have been important changes in their configuration, as a result of demographic changes (vegetative and / or migratory), political, economic, restructuring of the State, etc .; supported by a socio-economic development governed by the market. It has been from the second half of the 20th century when the growth of cities in the world has experienced its greatest increase. 54% of the current world population resides in urban areas and this figure is expected to reach 60% by 2030, according to United Nations data (UN, 2019).
