El crecimiento de la tasa de urbanización será la tendencia más transformadora del siglo XXI. Gran parte de la viejas y nuevas mega-ciudades estarán en las regiones del mundo menos desarrolladas. El presente trabajo ofrece un análisis de los principales problemas del desarrollo urbano en Latinoamérica con referencia tanto a las mega-ciudades, como a las pequeñas y medianas, que se enfrentan con graves problemas de segregación socioespacial y desigualdad, cambio climático y carencia de servicios públicos esenciales. El pasaje a un nuevo concepto de ciudad, designado con la locución “ciudad inteligente”, requiere nuevas formas de planificación, gestión y financiación local, incluidas herramientas financieras de procedencia internacional. En todo caso, en Latinoamérica es imprescindible la reforma de los sistemas tributarios, frecuentemente regresivos al momento actual.

The passage to a new concept of the city, designated with the expression “smart city”, requires new forms of local planning, management and financing, including financial tools of international origin. In any case, the reform of Latin American tax systems is crucial as they are often regressive nowadays

Abstract
The growth of the urbanization rate will be the most transformative trend of the 21st century. Much of the old and new mega-cities will be in the less developed regions of the world. This paper offers an analysis of the main problems of urban development in Latin America with reference to both mega-cities, as well as small and medium-sized ones, which face serious problems of socio-spatial segregation and inequality, climate change and lack of essential public services. The passage to a new concept of the city, designated with the expression “smart city”, requires new forms of local planning, management and financing, including financial tools of international origin. In any case, the reform of Latin American tax systems is crucial as they are often regressive nowadaysI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
