| Sumario: | This paper reflects on the urban trends and challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean within the context of sustainable development and the new urban agenda. This reflection aims to contribute to a plan of work for cities for the next 20 years; which has begun to be discussed in different spaces and at different levels, leading to the signing of agreements during the third Conference of Sustainable Development and Housing (Habitat III), which took place in October 2016 in Quito. The document outlines socio-demographic changes with new urban impacts: the global and highly informal economic model; the unequal construction of cities incoherent, outdated and incomplete land management systems that include informal and legal forms of tenure; the unsustainable use of natural resources; the lack of transparency on the part of government systems and insufficient local self-funding, urban violence and the historical debt in terms urban studies and planning in the Caribbean region, are amongst the most significant urban challenges for the next decades. |
