Examines the productivity of cities in Latin America and the Caribbean and the factors that help to explain its determination. Based on original empirical research, the report documents the high levels of population density and other features of LAC cities that mark them out from those in the rest of the world, and studies the role of three key factors - urban form, skills, and access to markets in determining productivity.
