Grea­ter Bue­nos Aires is the fourth-largest conur­ba­tion in Latin Ame­rica, with a popu­la­tion of around 13 million. Bue­nos Aires is con­si­de­red as the wealthiest city in South Ame­rica and the Southern Hemisphere and an Alpha World City lis­ted by the Lough­bo­rough Uni­ver­sity group’s (GaWC) 2008 inventory.
