What is it about?
The paper verifies the cyclical process of population growth of Colombia's main 20 metro areas during 1938-2018. The process is determined by a process of push-and-pull in the cities' peripheries, with migration influenced by the internal armed conflict.

Why is it important?
The paper uses contemporary methods to validate traditional urban life cycle theory, and then uses this theory as a background to understand the effect of the internal armed conflict on the Colombian process of urbanization.
Perspectives
We are offering a contemporary structural equation approach to traditional urban life cycle theory, a demographic-based theoretical framework that explains the process of urbanization in the context of more general economic development transformations.
