CRUZ, Fermín  y  GARZA, Gustavo. Micro-Spatial Configuration of Industry in Mexico City in the Early 21st Century. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2014, vol.29, n.1, pp.9-52. ISSN 2448-6515.

The organization of manufacturing production in the large metropolitan areas has been transformed by its relative de-industrialization and rapid service sector growth, to a greater or lesser extent depending on the degree of integration into the new international division of labor. The main objective of this paper is to determine the type of industrial pattern that existed in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area in 2003, based on the best-known conceptual models of the organization of urban space. To achieve this, a micro-spatial analysis of the gross domestic product (DGP) of the goods in 4 418 basic geostatistical areas (BGA) was performed, which identified seven large manufacturing concentrations. This was used to analyze its morphology, internal spatial structure and future evolution. A second major objective is to outline the evolution of the seven industrial estates from the 1960s, which has made it possible to infer the importance of the general production conditions as a determinant of the industrial configuration of the metropolis.

Palabras llave : metropolitan industrial structuring; urban structure models; industrialization of Mexico City.
