Abstract

The Griffin and Ford model of Latin American internal City structure is used to examine the rote of private sector institutions and public agencies as contributors to change in secondary level urban places in Guatemala. The private sector affects change primarily through locational choices in the siting of industry and housing. Public agencies influence change through control of municipal finances and decision making, especially in the construction of public works projects. The Undings tend to support the Griffin and Ford model.
