In the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA), as in most Latin American metropolises, intra-urban mobility is the main driver of changes in the social division of space. The dynamics of residential mobility, as well as commuting, strongly reflect the inscription of inequalities in urban space. However, these dynamics operate on different time scales and their analysis is often limited to only one type of mobility at a time. The aim of this article is precisely to reconcile the analysis of residential mobility with that of everyday mobility, each of which sheds light on the socio-spatial division of the metropolis in its own way. Using data from the 2015 intercensal survey, this article proposes to elaborate a sociospatial typology of the territories of the mcma, at the municipal level, linking the dynamics of daily and residential mobility with the territorial contexts understood by the characteristics of the inhabitants.

Keywords : Mexico City metropolitan zone; residential mobility; daily mobility; intraurban inequalities; social division of space.
