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.

Se ha visto que sin un sistema de monitoreo ambiental integral y eficiente, que propor­cione datos duros de soporte para un diagnóstico de la situación ambiental, no es posible elaborar nuevas políticas públicas para resolver la problemática que enfrentan las áreas urbanas. En el presente trabajo se revisa la situación actual del sistema de monitoreo ambiental de la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México desde tres ángulos: climatológico, hidrométrico y de calidad de aire. Asimismo se detectan sus principales avances, limitaciones y otras particularidades y al final se complementa el monitoreo ambiental con la parte social y económica. AbstractIt has been proved that without an efficient, integral environmental monitoring system that provides hard back-up data for a diagnosis of the environmental situation, it is impossible to draw up new public policies to solve the problem faced by urban areas. This paper reviews the current status of environmental monitoring in the Mexico City Metropolitan Zone from three angles: climatological, hydrometric and air quality. It also detects the main progress, limitations and other particularities and at the end, environmental monitoring is complemented by the social and economic part.

En este artículo se explora una interpretación de los conflictos en torno al espacio en la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México (ZMCM) con base en los conceptos de orden y de contextos urbanos. Para ello se presenta en primer término un conjunto de formas históricas de producción del espacio urbano que, de acuerdo con los autores, conforman en la actualidad cuatro “ciudades”, es decir, otros tantos contextos urbanos que se diferencian entre sí, entre otras cuestiones, por el tipo de conflictos por el espacio que en cada uno de ellos aparece como dominante. En segundo término se examina el concepto de orden urbano y se propone una línea de interpretación de los conflictos relacionados con el espacio que marcan en la actualidad dicho orden en la metrópoli. Por último se describen e ilustran las dinámicas que caracterizan a cada uno de los cuatro contextos urbanos o “ciudades” a partir de las formas en que se combinan diferentes modalidades de organización del espacio, usos del espacio público y privado y conflictos dominantes por el espacio. AbstractResorting to the concepts of urban order and urban context, this paper explores an interpretation of conflicts concerning the uses and modes of appropriation of urban space in the metropolitan zone of Mexico City. To this end, it firstly characterizes a group of historical forms of urban space production that, according with the authors, have given place to four types of “cities” or urban contexts which are differentiated, among other things, because of the dominant spatial conflicts in each case observed. Then it discusses the concept of urban order and proposes an interpretation line of those spatial conflicts that, at present, shape the metropolitan urban order. Finally, it describes and exemplifies the four urban contexts dynamic, considering the ways in which different modalities of urban space organization, uses of public a private spaces, and dominant space conflicts are combined.

Architecture in Mexico City in the mid-20th century was shaped by rapid economic and urban growth, demographic change, new construction technologies, and politics. Architects adapted modernist idioms and those that evoked historical precedents for new purposes. Key figures who had begun practice earlier in the century, including Mario Pani, Juan O’Gorman, José Villagrán García, and Luis Barragán, designed major new works and strongly influenced the profession, even as a new generation led by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, Ricardo Legorreta, and Teodoro González de Léon came of age. As they had been since the 1920s, public patrons were the most important clients of modern buildings, which often addressed needs for better housing, education, and health care. The period also saw the rise of modern suburbs and the evolution of the single-family house, as well as the creation of major buildings for increasingly important cultural institutions, especially museums. As they had in preceding decades, architects used the non-architectural arts, particularly painting, to distinguish their works. The legacy of the Mexican muralist movement was most evident on the facades of major buildings in the new University City, where the influence of international modernist planning principles was also striking. In 1968 Mexico City hosted the Olympics, for which architects, planners, and designers created a network of buildings and images that functioned interdependently to present Mexico as cosmopolitan and historically rooted in its indigenous history. Sprawl and pollution worsened in the 1970s, as the capital came to be dominated by buildings that were not designed by architects. While some observers questioned the relevance of architecture in the face of seemingly unstoppable and uncontrollable growth, talented young architects responded with buildings notable for their monumentality, mass, and sophisticated engagement with historical types.

Political Negotiation

This article analyzes political practices shaping water usage in the Mexico City region. Based on four different case studies, it reflects on the role of intermediaries in the state restructuring process. The cases explore political negotiation over the use of water in contexts of shortage or abundance, clean potable water, or waste water. The article illustrates how the use of natural resources affects the state’s role and how it reconfigures citizen participation. It compares traditional political mechanisms such as clientelism or electoral promotion, with emergent informal practices such as the multiplication of intermediaries who distribute water privately, but are ambiguously subsidized and organized by public institutions. It concludes that unequal water provision and intermediaries are key elements for the renewal of state legitimacy.

Ozone concentration in the atmosphere of Mexico City is analyzed for the period 2000-2006, finding an average reduction of 24%, in spite of not meeting the norm of 110 ppb in more than 42% of the days in Pedregal. The maximum ozone levels in the last three years were 250 ppb well above the norm of 110 ppb. The number ofvehicles registered in the Federal District has increased in the period by an average of 35%. Notwithstanding the increase in vehicular fleet, improvement of air quality is ascribed to the replacement of old cars by more efficient and less contaminating new cars. To decrease even more the ozone concentration, it is suggested to decrease furtherthe Reid Vapor Pressure of gasoline to 7.0 psia to reduce the evaporation of light olefins.
