摘要

Regarding the urban restructuration process undergoing in Lima since the late 20th century, some Peruvian authors emphasize the emergence of major metropolitan centers in old urban peripheries such as the northern side of Lima. Considering the urban dimensions of these centers, as important employment and provision destinations, we can notice that they still have a secondary function in the metropolitan structure. Also, citizen perceptions about different characteristics of their urban dimensions tend to be negative. In summary, although these new centers satisfy several daily urban necessities for their residential surroundings, especially in terms of provision, they are still far from becoming major metropolitan centers.
