Sumario:The value of comparison in urban research and its scarce presence in Latin American literature, justifies its critical review. This paper analyzes some comparative strategies that are, however, inoperative without a solid and well-founded epistemological position. The dialectical relationship between reality and knowledge, where both feed off each other in a virtuous circle, is considered optimal. It is concluded that only under these precepts, the comparison becomes a valuable instrument to approach our own context from other points of view and reveal the hidden facets and the essence of the concrete.
