The phenomenon of urbanization in underdeveloped, capitalist countries is investigated. The analysis builds on the ideas of Milton Santos (L'Espace Partage [Shared Space], publication data not given). Urbanization in Mexico City from 1910 to 1970 is examined, based on census & other statistics, considering the nation as a whole & then the separate SE regions of Monterrey & Guadalajara. The causal factors of growth & problems arising from it are discussed. The concept of cities as parts of systems is developed, & a list of 38 subsystems of cities in 7 regions of Mexico is drawn up. In Commentarios a la Ponencia: Crecimiento e importancia regional de nuestras ciudades (Comments on "The Growth and Regional Importance of Our Cities"), Alejandro Camalich Guerrero appreciates Bassols Batalla's pioneering study, which has demonstrated how urbanization is displacing the Ru way of life, & expands on the characteristics of urbanization identified by Bassols Batalla & their negative effects on poverty & individual & collective disorganization. 2 Tables.
