Abstract

Here a close scrutiny of the overall planning schemes drawn up for the cities of Montivideo, Buenos Aires, Lima, Santiago de Chile and Quito leads the author to consider the degree to which these could be said to answer those social conflicts arising from a need for housing, social services, work, transport, etc., of these places. The complete lack of any adequate channels of approach to the resolving of these outstanding demands and the total divorce as between such plans and the reigning socio-economic reality that has such cities in its grip makes them the source of greater and not lesser social unrest on many occasions.
