Description: Globalization and the current model of capital accumulation have generated a series of territorial restructuring processes that propose the need to rething urban fragmentation processes, the new characteristics that acquire the urban structure and form, and the new relationship that is established between public and private actors. Metropolises like Lima fail to create a balance between the urban structure and the social distribution of its residential spaces. As a result, the city's current organization reproduces sociospace inequalities and makes them persistent. In this context, urban centralities are not only a formal criterion for the analysis of urban structure. On the contrary, they are the nerve point for recognizing how much a city stapulates optimal conditions for the quality of life of its inhabitants; or, on the contrary, how much it reinforces patterns of inequality in the distribution of the goods produced by the city (material and symbolic). This book is an interdisciplinary effort to generate a contribution to the knowledge of the structure of the metropolis based on the study of urban centralities.
