Document Summary
10: distribution and characteristics of latin american and. Keeping the idea of the primate city in the forefront of our thinking, we will turn to the distribution of the cities in latin america and the caribbean. Our concern here is with the history of the evolution of the morphology of cities in the western hemisphere. We shall examine a number of cities in latin america. We shall end this section with a rapid overview of the urban conditions in the greater caribbean. Often we consider the caribbean with latin america but as no caribbean city is a world city, we can just omit them . They are all small, with a few exceptions like. San juan and santo domingo but we will pick up elements of these in latin. The first thing is the distribution along the coast and in the interior of valleys in the andes the interior is relatively empty.
