The Latin American City

Summary: urbanization in latin america
Review: Alan Gilbert's "The Latin American City" is a wonderful introduction to urbanization in Latin America. The chapter set-up and structure makes it easy to find information. The information and statistics included are relevant and helpful in understanding the problems of urbanization in these third world countries. The main fault I find with this text, is that it lacks a personal connection to the issues. Perhaps more sidebar stories, or vinyettes, would achieve a personal connection to the issues.
