Abstract
This chapter discusses the primary issues and challenges of urban sustainability that have come to light in six Latin American metropolises. It identifies leading urbanization trends in Latin America and their relevance to the selected city regions. Furthermore, it presents stylized facts from each city under review and summarizes the work of the recently developed Regional Panorama Latina America - Megacities and Sustainability, which evaluates urban risks along sustainability criteria.
