Description: "Exceptionally well researched and data-rich study. A brief summary chapter on recent Caribbean Basin urban trends is followed by two longer in-depth studies of Costa Rican changes (esp. in metropolitican San José) and of Guatemala City. Close attention is paid to 30-40 years of economic changes, including topics such as migration, maquiladoras, the informal sectors, economic differences across the capital-city areas, and urban policies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
