Abstract
This paper is the product of the first stage of a research which is being carried out on different countries in the world in order to ascertain to what extent the recommendations on human settlement policies, approved at the Habitat Conference held at Vancouver in 1976, were implemented. Our study covers four Latin American countries, selected to conform to a varied universe in so far as human settlement problems in the region are concerned. The countries are: Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Bolivia. Thus, the set includes countries of different sizes, levels of development, industrialisation and urbanisation. Besides, the study considers countries where the population concentrates in a great primate metropolis as well as examples where the population and economic activities are more equally distributed among several major centres.
