The article deals with the spatial organisation of Latin American cities that were founded by the Spaniards during the colonial period (from the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century). The colonial city plan – the “chessboard” proved to be so long-lasting that the modern development of these centres continues to be dominated by regular urban structure, which does not always correspond to the needs of the dynamic growth of these cities and the need for reconstruction of communications systems. At the same time, new phenomena and global processes in the sphere of economy and society lead to changes in spatial structure and intensify socio-spatial fragmentation.
