This article estimates the effect of polycentrism on population distribution in
the Metropolitan Zone of the Mexico Valley (MZMV) between 1995 and 2010. AccordingÍ to NUE [New Urban Economics] polycentric models, the higher the distance to employmentÍ centers, the lower the population density. It was found that sub-centers have a positive effectÍ on population density, despite the strong monocentric inertia in the metropolitan area.
However, the results also show an increasing gap between employment and housing spaces.
This gap makes it increasingly difficult to reduce commuting distances. On the other hand,Í transportation infrastructure has a strong structuring capacity, and its effect on populationÍ density becomes stronger at the expense of the influence of employment sub-centers.
