What are the historical and economic explanations for urban dominance and urban primacy in Latin America?
What will be an ideal response?
In large part Latin America exhibits urban dominance and primacy because a few key cities, during the colonial period, were the principal locations of investment. Following independence, these select cities continued to receive the lion's share of investment; rural-to-urban migration patterns intensified the concentration of population in these cities.
