Two similarities between US cities and Latin American cities, according to the Latin American City model, are the presence of a central business district (CBD) and the existence of socio-economic stratification within urban areas. However, a key difference is that Latin American cities typically feature a clear socio-spatial structure with distinct zones for different classes, often radiating from the city center, while US cities may have more mixed-use neighborhoods. Additionally, Latin American cities often have a more pronounced informal economy and informal housing sectors compared to their US counterparts.
