The study of urban spatial dynamics generates an approach of great importance in scientific research, whose purpose is to determine the evolution of models and patterns of spatial distribution in the revaluation of land uses. The spatial arrangement of longitudinal axes or corridors in height with functions of centrality in Mexico City has been shaped through the transit of the monocentric urban structure of the metropolis in the mid-20th century, transited between 1950 and 1980 through a stage of multiple hierarchical centralities, towards that of a complex web of tertiary and residential urban corridors of high economic cost that organize it today. The work aims to historically develop the socio-territorial configuration of Mexico City that is currently moving towards multi-nuclear forms of organization, structuring and functions of centrality, framed by the current high-rise real estate boom; To visualize the territorial configuration, georeferenced data-bases are built from official statistical information and their subsequent link to a Geography Information System as a tool for the management and creation of cartographic products for spatial analysis and cartographic overlay. In this sense, the statistical and cartographic results allow us to evaluate that the magnitude and scope of the changes in mixed land uses, focused on determining the spatial distribution of the new nodes and corridors in height, advance mainly towards the western area of the city, largely complementing the centrality of traditional urban corridors.
