Faculty Architecture Department Urbanism Date 1992-07-12 Abstract With this work we continue the debate on the trends of urban restructuring in Latin America. In fact due to the large economic crisis of the 80-ies, the continent has decreased is living standards to that of 12 years ago. The productive potential has increased in 1,3% in circumstances that in the previous 20 years an average rate of 5.8% was scored. This 1.3% was not able to answer the social demands of the population that grew 2.2% per year. The IMF pressures encourages the countries to return to accumulation regimes based on primary exportation modes which strengthen the concentration of economic groups, and has plead for decentralization of the State and privatization -a.o. of city services- in order to raise productivity standards. This is noticed in the urban structure, the accentuation of fragmentation of the build environment, the de-urbanization pattern, and the rapid modernization and -verticalization- of some given areas. The question is whether the ongoing democratization of the social structures will be able to match both the economic revitalization as well as the issues of state decentralization on behalf of the majority of the population. This first volume TUR.O1 presents an analytical framework concerning some issues on economic changes and organization of the Latin American space, followed wih some empirical studies on the question of urban fragmentation. This second volume TUR.02 present analytical material concerning deregulation and privalization of urban services and expirical studies in Brazil, Nicaragua, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Chile, The Netherlands is used as reference.
