HERAS GUTIERREZ, Daniel De Las; ADAME MARTINEZ, Salvador; CADENA VARGAS, Edel Gilberto y CAMPOS ALANIS, Juan. Sustainability of urban development in the Megalopolis of Mexico: perspective from spatial analysis. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.62, pp.719-752. Epub 26-Mayo-2020. ISSN 2448-6183. https://doi.org/10.22136/est20201441.
This paper provides an approach to the analysis of sustainability of urban development of the Megalopolis of Central Mexico through the elaboration of a summary index from 17 indicators with the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), index with which spatial analysis techniques were applied (ESDA). Positive spatial autocorrelation was detected and clusters were identified, showing a dichotomy between central and peripheral metropolitan municipalities, and the advantageous position of Mexico City over the remaining municipalities in sustainability levels. The most disadvantaged municipalities with a need for intervention were identified.
