In 2025, approximately 23 million people lived in the São Paulo metropolitan area, making it the biggest in Latin America and the Caribbean and the sixth most populated in the world. The homonymous state of São Paulo was also the most populous federal entity in the country. The second place for the region was Mexico City with 22.75 million inhabitants. Brazil's cities Brazil is home to two large metropolises, only counting the population within the city limits, São Paulo had approximately 11.45 million inhabitants, and Rio de Janeiro around 6.21 million inhabitants. It also contains a number of smaller, but well known cities such as Brasília, Salvador, Belo Horizonte and many others, which report between 2 and 3 million inhabitants each. As a result, the country's population is primarily urban, with nearly 88 percent of inhabitants living in cities. Mexico City Mexico City's metropolitan area ranks sevenths in the ranking of most populated cities in the world. Founded over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in 1521 after the Spanish conquest as the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, the city still stands as one of the most important in Latin America. Nevertheless, the preeminent economic, political, and cultural position of Mexico City has not prevented the metropolis from suffering the problems affecting the rest of the country, namely, inequality and violence. Only in 2023, the city registered a crime incidence of 52,723 reported cases for every 100,000 inhabitants and around 24 percent of the population lived under the poverty line.

Santiago is the city with the largest number of startups in Chile. According to the source, the Chilean capital had been chosen as the headquarters of 285 startup companies as of August 2024. Most Brazilian startups were located in the city of São Paulo.

Santiago, Chile's capital and largest city, was considered the smartest city in Latin America in 2019. That year, the city achieved an overall score of 59.45 points. Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina, ranked second, with 54.71 score points. Meanwhile, the Dominican Republic's Santo Domingo was the highest ranking Caribbean city, with a 40.39 score.

The South American city gas distribution market, valued at approximately $XX million in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, driven by increasing urbanization, industrial expansion, and rising energy demands across the region. A Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 2.00% is anticipated from 2025 to 2033, indicating a steady and significant market expansion. Key drivers include government initiatives promoting cleaner energy sources, coupled with expanding infrastructure development in key cities across Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) segment holds a significant market share due to its cost-effectiveness and versatility in transportation and industrial applications. However, the market faces challenges from fluctuating gas prices and the need for continued investment in pipeline infrastructure, especially in less developed areas within the "Rest of South America" segment. The market is segmented by gas type (CNG and PNG), end-user (industrial, power sector, residential & commercial, and transportation), and geography (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Rest of South America). Brazil, with its large population and industrial base, is expected to dominate the market, followed by Argentina and Chile. Key players like Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Companhia de Gas de Sao Paulo (Comgas), and Naturgy Energy Group SA are actively shaping the market landscape through expansion strategies, technological advancements, and strategic partnerships. The growth trajectory hinges on consistent investment in infrastructure, efficient regulatory frameworks, and sustained economic growth across South American nations. The residential and commercial sectors are poised for significant expansion driven by rising living standards and increased access to natural gas networks. However, competition among existing players and potential entry of new players will influence market dynamics and pricing strategies in the coming years. Recent developments include: August 2022: As part of Ambipar's initial investment of USD 5.5 million, it incorporates trucks equipped with compressed natural gas (CNG) technology, such as Scania R 410 6X2 models, into its fleet. Ambipar estimates a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in the Corridor after the first year of circulation of these new units. By incorporating compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks on a large scale, the Sustainable Corridor Project begins the process of changing its fleet's energy matrix to renewable and cleaner sources of power., May 2022: Compagas, Parana state's gas distribution company, and Brazilian logistic operator NEOgas started a pilot project to transport compressed natural gas (CNG) via natural gas-fueled trucks. The project aims to provide a greener and more cost-effective solution to the transportation of natural gas to the countryside of Brazil. The pilot project lasts around 30 days, with NEOgas compressing Compagas' natural gas at the Ponta Grossa station. The natural gas-fueled trucks from vehicle manufacturer Scania will then transport the gas daily for 130 km to the city of Arapoti, where the paper company BO Paper plans to use it.. Notable trends are: Power Sector to Dominate the Market.

Cities are increasingly becoming hot-spots for nature-originated disasters. While the role of the urban built environment in fostering disaster resilience has been recognized for some time, it has been difficult to translate this potential into practice. This is especially challenging in the case of rapid onset crises such as near-field tsunamis when appropriate urban forms must support the populations' ability to autonomously carry out safe and timely responses. In this respect, much of current research remains focused on large-scale elements of urban configuration (streets, squares, parks, etc.,) through which people move during an emergency. In contrast, the critical micro-scale of evacuees' experiences within the built environment is not commonly examined. This paper addresses this shortfall through a macro- and micro-scale analysis of a near-field tsunami scenario affecting the city of Viña del Mar, Chile, including a mixed-methods approach that combines computer-based models and fieldwork. The results show significant macro-scale tsunami vulnerability throughout major areas of the city, which nonetheless could be mitigated by existing nearby high ground and an urban form that allows short evacuation times. However, micro-scale outcomes show comparatively deficient spatial conditions that during an emergency might lead to dangerous outcomes including bottlenecks, falls and panic. Vertical evacuation, in turn, is confirmed as a suitable option for reducing vulnerability, but further examination of each shelter's characteristics is required.

Brazilian startups are mostly localized in the South-Eastern region of the country. In 2024, the city with the largest share of startups in Brazil was São Paulo, with more than 26 percent. With 4.8 percent of the startups located there, Rio de Janeiro was in second place.

As of June 2022, Chile was home to 25 healthtech startup companies, out of which more than half (60 percent) belonged to the health care category. Meanwhile, Chilean startups working on biotechnology amounted to six. Santiago was the Chilean city with the largest number of startups, as of February 2022.
