MONTEJANO-ESCAMILLA, Jorge Alberto. Is Mexico city polycentric?: New data and algorithms for urban centralities detection. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.48, pp.333-361. ISSN 2448-6183.

With the emergence of new algorithms for network analysis and the development of economic databases disaggregated at a unit level, I propose a method different from those previously reported in the literature to detect urban centralities. The first part defines urban centrality and presents a theoretical debate on the polycentric condition. The second part shows previously used methods for measuring centralities and describes the new tools used in this research. Finally, we present some results from this method applied as a case study in Mexico City.
