Abstract

LimaÍ€™s conversion in an object of historic inquiry was produced in the middle of the 19th century, under the form of literary chronicles or positivist descriptions of reality. Instead the transformation of LimaÍ€™s metropolis in an object of investigation aiming for the theoretical modeling of reality is barely a phenomenon of the last 50 years. The following text deals with the proposals of records formulated in order to reveal some constants and formation laws concerning the growth and socio-spatial structure of Lima city. The basic tendencies and aspects of reference concerning the city are defined.
