“…Demographic outcomes of industrial deconcentration included greater employment and income inequality within Mexico City, increased employment opportunities outside Mexico City and decreased migration to Mexico City (Aguilar, 1999;Jones, 2001;Graizbord et al, 2003). Although Mexico City remains the largest city in Mexico, numerous "medium-sized" cities experienced large annual growth rates during this period, some as large as 14% Rodriguez, 1994/1995).…”

“…In the early 1980s, population growth rates slowed with deindustrialization and the liberalization of the Mexican economy (Garza, 1999;Graizbord, Rowland, and Aguilar, 2003). Between 1980 and 1993, the metropolitan zone lost over 385,000 industrial jobs (Connolly, 2003) and residents turned to more precarious forms of work, including street vending (Davis, 2013;Garza, 1999;Graizbord, Rowland, and Aguilar, 2003). Informal work now accounts for an estimated 57 percent of all employment in Mexico City (Suárez, Murata, and Delgado, 2016: 252), making it fundamental to livelihoods in the city.…”

Some of the increasingly evident contradictions between spatial planning and social policy in Mexico City are apparent in the way land use regulation folds into and articulates with exclusion and marginality. In downtown areas, regulatory approvals and various planning measures have facilitated the escalation of land and housing prices and more exclusionary forms of urban development. At the periphery, land use regulation now conditions access to urban services, property titles, and even some social programs for settlement areas designated as “informal.” Comparing the state’s role in planning at these distinct sites uncovers a pattern of selective and uneven spatial regulation in different socioeconomic territories of the city, characterized by “fast-track” development approvals in downtown areas and “slow-track” regularization of settlements in peripheral areas. The analysis suggests how this pattern of uneven spatial regulation contributes to (re)producing urban space in ways that call into question the local government’s stated support for the “right to the city.” Las geografías desiguales de la regulación espacial ponen de manifiesto algunas de las contradicciones cada vez más evidentes entre la planificación espacial y la política social en la Ciudad de México. En las áreas del centro, las aprobaciones regulatorias y varias medidas de planificación han facilitado el aumento de los precios de la tierra y la vivienda y formas más excluyentes de desarrollo urbano. En la periferia, la regulación del uso de la tierra ahora condiciona el acceso a servicios urbanos, títulos de propiedad e incluso algunos programas sociales para áreas de asentamiento designadas como “informales.” Comparar el papel del estado en la planificación en estos sitios distintos revela un patrón de regulación espacial selectiva y desigual en diferentes territorios socioeconómicos de la ciudad, caracterizados por aprobaciones “fast-track” de desarrollo en áreas del centro y regularización “slow-track” de asentamientos en áreas periféricas. El análisis se centra en cómo la regulación del uso de la tierra se enreda y articula con la exclusión y la marginalidad y cómo la regulación espacial desigual contribuye a (re) producir espacio urbano de manera que cuestione el apoyo declarado del gobierno local por “el derecho a la ciudad.”

“…En materia de servicios, desde por lo menos la mitad de la década de 1990 se ha insistido en el papel estratégico que corresponde a la zmcm (Parnreiter, 2001;Graizbord et al, 2003;Garza, 2005), el cual se sustenta en la importancia de los servicios avanzados. Sin embargo poca atención se ha puesto en el rol que tienden a desempeñar las zonas metropolitanas que se encuentran alrededor de la ciudad principal.…”

La migración está íntimamente relacionada con factores regionales. No solamente la diferencia salarial entre regiones, sino toda una serie de fenómenos como la oferta de empleo, la oferta de vivienda, la búsqueda de mejores condiciones de vida, el crecimiento urbano, etc., atraen a la población. Con esta perspectiva, este trabajo propone analizar el balance migratorio de la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México (ZMCM) dentro del proceso de reestructuración por el que pasa la Región Centro del país. AbstractMigration is intimately related to regional factors. It is not only the wage differential between regions but a whole series of phenomena such as the supply of employment and housing, the search for better living conditions, urban growth, etc. that attract this population. From this perspective, this article seeks to analyze the migratory balance of the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City (MZMC) within the restructuring process of the Central Region of the country.
