This is the only serious sociological study in Urban Latin America. Unfortunately is outdated. Too many things have happened in Latin America since 1998. A newer edition would be nice.

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.
