Nowadays, Latin America is on the spot light for International business. Several Latin American countries are becoming better off. Countries such as, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Peru are characterized by an economic boom, financial stability, trade liberalization, demographic shifts, and an expanding middle class society. Although poverty and inequality still prevail in the region, some of these countries are evolving and are no longer fundamentally poor. Better economic conditions, a huge market and an increasing talented labor force are presenting Latin America to the world as a land rich of business opportunities. In the past 4-5 years due to the European crisis and the slowdown of growth in The United States, several Latin American countries have become recipients of increasing Foreign Direct Investment. Not only that, but also, successful corporations in the region, known as Multilatinas, have expanded to other countries in the region and abroad. Time has arrived to understand better how to do business in the region and to identify how different this task could be, depending on the country.

“One thing that is poorly understood is population growth in Africa,” says William Cobbett, director of Cities Alliance . “It is thought that populations are growing mainly because of urban migration. That’s not correct. Across the continent, the bulk of population growth comes from natural population growth. Undesa figures from 1950-2050 show that in the case of Uganda – the outlier – its population in one century will multiply 20 times. That has never happened in human history.” Tanzania will grow 18 times and Nigeria 10.5.
“Most local authorities don’t have the capacity to deal with this, so there is no forward planning to make provisions for this population growth, which we know is going to happen.”
His organisation is trying to combat the mindset that you can’t plan for increased slum population, by supporting the creation of municipal development forums in a number of Ugandan cities. These are structured discussions where the local authority, local private sector companies and slum dwellers meet and deliberate about the future of the city.
Having the capacity to plan for future slum populations isn’t just a problem limited to Africa though.
