Abstract

One of the most important social phenomena that has occurred in the country in recent decades is that of urbanization. When comparing the last national censuses, it is observed that the urban population has had an enormous growth. Indeed, in 1940 it was 35.39% of the total population of the country, in 1961 47.42%, in 1972 59.52% and in 1981 64.86%. Although these censuses use a debatable definition of urban population (that which lives in populated centers that have a minimum of 100 dwellings grouped together or are district capitals), there is no doubt that urbanization is a fact, that the only four cities that in 1961 exceeded 100,000 inhabitants and housed 20% of the country's total population, they are eleven in 1981 and house 37/ of the population, and that Lima had 10% of the country's population in 1940 and 27% of the population in 1981. same (Peru: Facts and demographic figures 1984: 68 and 78).
