“…But not only the population grew, but it has also become more urban, going from an urbanization level of 25% in 1925 to a percentage of urban population of 75,3% in 2000, and its projected urban population will reach 82,2% in2025, also being the region of the planet with the greatest changes in population growth and levels of urbanization (Lattes, 2001). As for the most populous cities in Latin America in 1900, none exceeded the figure of one million inhabitants, by 1950 six cities in the region had exceeded one million inhabitants, and by 1995 39 cities within the region had exceeded that population, including three cities that had more than ten million inhabitants (Ortiz Álvarez et al, 2003).…”

“…During the last century and a half, the Latin American region has experienced explosive demographic growth, going from a population of 75 million in 1900 to 165 million inhabitants by 1950, continuing growing to 510 million inhabitants by 2000 and it is estimated that in 2025, the population will reach 783 million inhabitants (Ortiz Álvarez et al, 2003), this means an increase of more than 1000% in the period stated. But not only the population grew, but it has also become more urban, going from an urbanization level of 25% in 1925 to a percentage of urban population of 75,3% in 2000, and its projected urban population will reach 82,2% in2025, also being the region of the planet with the greatest changes in population growth and levels of urbanization (Lattes, 2001).…”

The population growth in cities pushes to seek solutions for the mobility of people, one of the most efficient but at the same time more expensive solution is a rapid transport system, commonly known as metro systems. In last 50 years, Latin America has seen how many of its cities have grown to have populations of several million inhabitants and therefore they have considered the development of a first metro line or if they already had existing lines, expand the metro network. This study seeks to understand the planning and development models of metros in Latin America and analyze the traits of these systems, compared to metros in other regions of the world. The conclusions of this study will not only be useful for local planners, but also for development banks and other international organizations in a way that they can understand and adapt their processes to local conditions. The research uses statistical information from benchmarking groups of metro systems throughout the world, as well as information presented in annual reports of companies operating metro systems. Academic documents are also used, as well as reviews and analytical studies by experts from international organizations and multilateral banks. In the first section of the paper, planning models to develop a metro project are analyzed, then a comparison is made between levels of demand or passenger flows and economic-financial variables and finally the operation models are studied. Conclusions are presented with the most relevant factors to consider when planning and developing a metro system in Latin America.

Una metrópolis inicia como una ciudad en la que su territorio e instituciones convergen, pero una vez que se extiende más allá de sus límites jurisdiccionales, es cuando los mecanismos históricos que le daban sentido son rebasados. El objetivo del artículo es demostrar que en la formación de las metrópolis existe un fenómeno común a nivel global caracterizado por una regulación y condicionamiento de las relaciones intergubernamentales que tratan de adaptarse al vertiginoso crecimiento urbano. Un elemento clave es la forma de cooperar entre diversos gobiernos. Para lograr el objetivo el texto sedivide en dos partes. Primero, se analiza la evolución de la urbanización a nivel global, para demostrar cómo a partir de 1950 el mundo deviene mayoritariamente urbano. Luego, se exponen estrategias de gestión metropolitana utilizadas en Europa, África, Asía y las Américas, con énfasis en México. El texto termina con algunas consideraciones sobre los retos globales de las metrópolis.

RESUMENEl trabajo presenta la situación actual del sistema urbano latinoamericano mediante el análisis de su evolución demográfica y utiliza el transporte aéreo como un indicador significativo de la vertebración y la cohesión regional. También se utilizan medidas de conectividad aérea para valorar la inserción de los nodos latinoamericanos en el escenario global. Mediante metodologías cuantitativas basadas en operaciones de estadística descriptiva se ponen de manifiesto los cambios y permanencias que se han producido en el sistema urbano de América Latina y del Caribe durante las últimas décadas, con objeto de identificar nuevas relevancias en el sistema urbano y la existencia de nodos que tienden a cumplir, cada vez más, una función global, actuando como centros de conexión necesaria entre esta región y el resto del mundo.Palabras clave: Sistema urbano, América Latina y Caribe, globalización, transporte aéreo.Urban system in Latin America: Their roles and advent of new nodes from the air transportation perspective. ABSTRACTThe paper introduces the situation of Latin American urban system, analyzing the growth population, using primarily air transportation as an indicator of territorial structure and cohesion. Air transportation connectivity measures are recently used, as well, to assess the inclusion of the nodes on the global arena, as it is also the purpose of this study. Permanencies and changes in the Latin American and Caribbean urban system will be highlight using quantitative methodologies based on descriptive statistical operations. The aim of our work will be to identify those nodes that burst on the urban scene and those destined to play a global role as main linkages between the region and the world.
