Abstract
The rapid process of urbanization in Latin America over the past 50 years has resulted in large mega-cities characterized by high-income inequality, poor housing conditions, and reduced access to public services, particularly among the urban poor. Indeed, rising levels of urban poverty has proved to be a general characteristic of Brazilian urbanization. However, in recent years decreasing urban primacy in Latin American countries has led to high growth rates within smaller urban agglomerations. Whereas some research has documented the extent of social segregation in the mega-cities of Latin America, less attention has been given to that of its secondary cities. Practically no research has been done on the relationship between segregation and access to public services in secondary cities.
