Since the publication of "Popular Overflow and the Crisis of the State: The New Face of Peru in the 1980s," the ideas presented by José Matos Mar have been fundamental to understanding 20th-century Peru. Beyond its academic value and conceptual argumentation, "popular overflow" became a reference framework that accompanied and shaped public debates and much of the academic analysis regarding rural-to-urban migration, the explosion of the informal economy, the accelerated expansion of cities through informal settlements, and the new urban culture during the second half of the 20th century. These processes, grouped and partially interpreted under the label of "popular overflow," have defined the urban reality of contemporary Peru.

The 21st-century agenda requires addressing a set of structural changes resulting from the development model that, at least since the beginning of the last century, we have maintained as a society and region. This is evident in our cities and rural areas, where conditions associated with poverty, inequality, violence, displacement, and climate change—to name a few—generate intense pressures, imbalances, and maldevelopment in the dynamics of social occupation and vacancy across much of our territory. We are interested in focusing on a spatial process framed within these dynamics: migration.
