摘要:This article studies the origins of urbanism in the Andean Area. It contends that urbanism takes form in the «ceremonial centers», considered as original and alternative cities whose origins have to do with their being places where a sort of concerted, «International» peace is achieved. Those centers assemble religious (a sanctuary) and economical (a market) interests. They are also used as sites for festival celebrations with multiple aims such redistribution, exogamy, etc.
