Rural-To-Urban Migration in Latin American Cities
There are now about 200 political states that send representatives to the United Nations. Maps of the world often divide the land masses into different political states demarcated by international borders. These borders are often disputed and tend to change over time. Is their location better explained by geography or by history? Why?
2.)
Rural-to-urban migration in Latin American cities often results in large squatter settlements surrounding the city.
1) Where did the residents of these slums come from, and why did they move? Who owns the land they move onto? When did this phenomenon begin, and for what reasons? At what rate are these squatter settlements still growing? (Hint: Push and Pull factors).
2) Many work in the informal economy and live in informal housing. What does this actually mean, in practical terms? Are the urban poor better off or worse compared to their rural counterparts?
3) When one city is much larger than any other, it tends to attract more migrants. How successful are governmental attempts to create second big cities, and do these secondary cities reduce the migration pressure on the largest city?
4) What other programs have governments implemented to address the problems of the peripheral poor, or what programs or policies might be helpful? Mention as many ideas as you can, keeping in mind the limited capital resources.
3.)
Why were some of the biggest cities in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century no longer the biggest cities at the beginning of the 21st century? Use your knowledge from conference discussions on migration to answer this question.

To demonstrate your comprehensive knowledge of geography, you will write a response to the following essay question concerning “world rankings” of nations or political states: One of the problems with globalization is outsourcing/offshoring of industries from developed countries to developing countries. Some have argued that industrial production should not be shifted from developed nations to developing nations without adequate environmental protection and feel that the benefits of income generated by manufacturing jobs are less than the costs endured by those living near the factories in those developing countries. From their perspective costs of production are being transferred from rich countries to poor ones while the benefits, in the form of profits and consumer goods, remain in rich countries. Those who argue that free trade is good for poor countries obviously see the benefits of accepting those factories as outweighing their environmental costs.
What do you think about these arguments and further – Do you think that this kind of globalization of moving industries/services from developed countries to developing countries improves the lives and living conditions of those workers in these developing countries?
