This article analyzes the manifestation of equity, efficiency and sustainability in Mexico's regions, starting from its human development during the period 1950-2003. As methodology it proposes the measurement of regional inequalities through the absolute and relative entropy of human development and sustainability indicators. The contrasted hypothesis is that the regional inequalities produced by development have increased in Mexico during the period 1950-2003, and that recently the disequilibria identified by the evaluation of regional sustainability tends to be greater still. Finally, it aims at promoting reflection on what might be some of the causes behind the present inequalities in Mexico's large regions.
