Caracas is the most urbanised city in the most urbanised country in the most urbanised region of the world. Nine-three percent of the population of the country live in urban areas. The city has a population of 2.1 million and 5.1 million depending on where the boundary is drawn. The boundary keeps shifting outwards and upwards. And the city continues to draw people in, not just from within Venezuela and neighbouring countries but also from The Caribbean most notably from Haiti. Not only are Latin America’s cities stretched way beyond their capacity but they are also the most unequal in the world.
