The book builds upon the experiences of Beyer, the founder and editor of the Market Urbanist, traveling through Latin America exploring how market urbanism -- or private-sector actions that create organic growth and voluntary exchange within cities -- works in developing countries. It offers lessons from the cities visited on his trip that should be studied by urban centers in the U.S.

Key Points:

"For all its high-level socialism, Latin America is in many ways a place where it's easier to own a home, start a business, or move as you choose," said Scott Beyer, the author of "Latin America's Urban Experience."
"California shouldn't copy everything about Latin America -- especially the socialism that is built into its political history and fabric.
But state policymakers would do well to learn from the best aspects of Latin America's urban policy."
PRI's Free Cities Center cultivates innovative ideas to improve urban life based around freedom and property rights -- not government.
