- Abstract
This article aims to analyze the growth and socio-spatial configuration of two oil cities in Latin America, Barrancabermeja (Colombia) and Comodoro Rivadavia (Argentina), between 1907 and 1938. Using comparison as a methodological tool, we seek to analyze the similarities and differences of urban processes that arouse from the establishment of industry in sparsely inhabited territories. We highlight the appearance of two very well differentiated urban centers, on the one hand, the company town, which concentrates the industrial and residential activity of the workers. On the other, a town that acquires complementary commercial functions to those who took a single productive role.
