Manuel Suárez Lastra et al., « Local spatial-autocorrelation and urban ring identification in Mexico City's Regional Belt », Investigaciones geográficas, ID : 10670/1.gygd7l
We explore the urban structure of eight metropolitan areas that surround Mexico City, forming its regional belt, by identifying spatial clusters within metropolitan areas with a regionally standardized local-spatial-autocorrelation procedure. The analysis reveals clear concentric urban ring patterns around the city centers; these patterns have different levels of complexity, suggesting diverse stages of evolution of the urban structure of these metropolitan areas.
