| Resumo: | The organization of manufacturing production in the large metropolitan areas has been transformed by its relative de-industrialization and rapid service sector growth, to a greater or lesser extent depending on the degree of integration into the new international division of labor. The main objective of this paper is to determine the type of industrial pattern that existed in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area in 2003, based on the best-known conceptual models of the organization of urban space. To achieve this, a micro-spatial analysis of thegross domestic product (gdp) of the goods in 4 418 basic geostatistical areas (bga) wasperformed, which identified seven large manufacturing concentrations. This was used toanalyze its morphology, internal spatial structure and future evolution. A second majorobjective is to outline the evolution of the seven industrial estates from the 1960s, which hasmade it possible to infer the importance of the general production conditions as a determinantof the industrial configuration of the metropolis.
