In 2022, the gini coefficient for urban areas in Mexico was approximately 0.43 points. Between 2000 and 2022, the figure dropped by around 0.06 points, though the decline followed an uneven course rather than a steady trajectory.

In 2023, the share of urban population in Mexico remained nearly unchanged at around 81.58 percent. Still, the share reached its highest value in the observed period in 2023. The urban population refers to the share of the total population living in urban centers. Each country has their own definition of what constitutes an urban center (based on population size, area, or space between dwellings, among others), therefore international comparisons may be inconsistent.

This raster layer shows the areas of Mexico City, Mexico which were developed between 1990 and 2000. Categories of new development represented in these data include: infill, extension and leapfrog. Infill represents development within all the open spaces in the urban footprint of the earlier period excluding exterior open space. Extension represents development in contiguous clusters that contained exterior open space in the earlier period and that were not infUnited States Leapfrog represents development entirely outside the exterior open space of the earlier period. These data are part of the Atlas of Urban Expansion.

This data is part of a research project for a PhD degree. The data was analysed for the thesis "The environmentalism of the neighbour: everyday life and local organising in water-scarce Mexico City", which I carried out as a PGR in the Department of Sociological Studies at the University of Sheffield. This PhD thesis worked with a qualitative and ethnographic multimethod study and focused on a case study of a neighbourhood organisation in Mexico City. The project has Ethical approval from the University of Sheffield (Reference Number 048986).

In 2025, approximately 23 million people lived in the São Paulo metropolitan area, making it the biggest in Latin America and the Caribbean and the sixth most populated in the world. The homonymous state of São Paulo was also the most populous federal entity in the country. The second place for the region was Mexico City with 22.75 million inhabitants. Brazil's cities Brazil is home to two large metropolises, only counting the population within the city limits, São Paulo had approximately 11.45 million inhabitants, and Rio de Janeiro around 6.21 million inhabitants. It also contains a number of smaller, but well known cities such as Brasília, Salvador, Belo Horizonte and many others, which report between 2 and 3 million inhabitants each. As a result, the country's population is primarily urban, with nearly 88 percent of inhabitants living in cities. Mexico City Mexico City's metropolitan area ranks sevenths in the ranking of most populated cities in the world. Founded over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan in 1521 after the Spanish conquest as the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, the city still stands as one of the most important in Latin America. Nevertheless, the preeminent economic, political, and cultural position of Mexico City has not prevented the metropolis from suffering the problems affecting the rest of the country, namely, inequality and violence. Only in 2023, the city registered a crime incidence of 52,723 reported cases for every 100,000 inhabitants and around 24 percent of the population lived under the poverty line.

Abstract Various factors that have influenced the urban decay of the central areas of Mexico City. Beyond discussing these causes, the main housing interventions that have been implemented, urban decline is part of a legitimizing discourse of the measures taken are presented. Two stages differing interventions are proposed: on the one hand, driven by the public sector interventions; and secondly, those implemented with close involvement of the private sector. However, both interventions, have in common that have been measures that have affected low-income sectors, where a selective strategy can be seen for the housing interventions.
