Summary/Abstract: Analysis of the functioning of selected Latin American cities in the context of changes taking place in the socio-political situation of Latin American countries from the last decade of the 20th century up to the present day. Bogotá (Colombia), Lima (Peru), and Toluca (Mexico) are the subject of study in this book. In these cities the democratization of life, the increase in the importance of local organizations, the formation of civic society and the improvement in the quality of managing the city have a strong influence on the changes occurring in the traditional model of socio-spatial segregation dating back to the 1970s.
