The spatial expression of urban centrality in big cities is generally associated with several urban nodes. The major purpose of this article is to identify the spatial pattern of urban sub-centres in Mexico City during the period 1989–2009 and how changes in urban centrality have given way to a more polycentric urban structure. A double-threshold m...

This paper examines access to water among the urban poor in illegal settlements in a peripheral area of Mexico City, where supply is characterized by insecurity and exclusion, and where the water needs of the population are commonly met by an array of non-conventional and officially non-recognized informal operators. The analysis focuses on a south...
In 2005 Mexico City had just under 20 million inhabitants in the whole metropolitan area. Although over the last 20 years the city has registered a slower population growth, its urban area continues to expand. The particular problem with the expansion to the south is that urbanization is invading a so-called Preservation Zone (Suelo de Conservacion...

This paper examines the transformation of urban space in the peri-urban areas of Latin American mega-cities, further exacerbating the multi-jurisdictional political divisions that cover a single urban entity. This is against the backcloth of a sharp decline in metropolitan growth rates, absolute population loss in the city center, and an alleged “p...
This article considers the effects of globalization on Mexico City, as well as whether this urban area, one of the largest in the world, can be considered a “global city.” We base our arguments on a number of scales of analysis suggested in the literature on these topics. At the international scale, we look at the increased concentration of corpora...
This article suggests a line of research about the growth and development of mega-cities, focused in their regional outskirts. Specifically, some elements seeking research on peri-urban areas on metropolitan expanded outskirts of the mega-cities are introduced, since it is in these zones where the biggest part of the metropolitan growth is taking p...

The contribution of the concept is to define a profile of producers (supply) and consumers (demand) to assess a ma...

This paper argues that the recent urban expansion of the main metropolis in large developing countries is different from the process of simple suburbanization and the expansion and merging of continuous urban fringes. It also differs from the classical concept of metropolitan areas. These processes and concepts no longer seem appropriate to describ...
Trends in location, labor force, and procurement practices in maquiladoras are examined using recent data sources. A growing proportion of maquiladoras are selecting interior locations, south of the borderlands. Once dominated by young women, the labor force is rapidly approaching gender parity. While far below prevailing rates in the United States...
The objective of this paper is to examine the main changes in the metropolitan labor markets associated with economic restructuring in Mexico during the late 1980s and beginning of the 1990s. The analysis refers particularly to the four largest metropoles of the country, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and Puebla, looking for common characteris...
In this study I argue that Mexico's integration into the global economy has increased the dependent nature of its capitalist development and has resulted in the weakening of organized labor and growth of the informal sector. Neoliberal policies in Mexico have accentuated the disparities between the formal and informal sectors and between highly pai...

Se muestra que los mecanismos e instrumentos de planeación urbana para controlar la expansión de la ciudad de México han fallado en gran medida por su rigidez y su naturaleza tecnicista, pues son bastante incosistentes con los planteamientos de distribución social de la política urbana. Para tal fin se hace referencia a la estrategia de control urb...

This study is looking at those concepts of spatial organization that urban planning has applied in the peripheral expansion of...
