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.
