Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to attempt to understand the relationships between urban primacy and regional economic disparities in Latin America. It tackles, therefore, the investigation of the interactions between two different dimensions of regional development. On one hand, the spatial, that of urban primacy understood as a special kind of regional configuration. On the other hand, the socio-economic, that is to say, disparities understood as a determined distribution of opportunities for growth and wellbeing between regional territories in a determined national space.
