This paper reflects on the phenomenon of metropolitan urban areas, which are identified as complex urban agglomerations comprised by different administrative territorial units that work as complex and coordinated units in terms of functionality and management.
Clearly, the term ‘metropolitan area’ emerged when the concept of city was no longer equivalent to urban and it was necessary to find another term that gave account of those urban areas in tone with the central city. And even if the criteria to declare cities as metropolitan areas have not been the same in all cases, this article tries to review the evolution and consolidation of these metropolitan areas in the global context and particularly in the case of Latin America.
