Abstract
Latin America is urbanized to a high degree for the present stage of industrial development. Uruguay, Argentina and Chile in the order named are more highly urbanized than France or Canada and come close to the United States although the metropolitan tendency has not gone very far. The reason would seem to be migration from the inaccessible and undeveloped interior to cities having more cultural, economic and political advantages. Special reference is made to Argentina, whose rural population dropped from 32% in 1930 to 26% in 1938.
