| Résumé: | The importance of the city in economical growth is indisputable, being it the space in which secondary and tertiary activities are carried out and thus, where capital is accumulated. But in Mexico there are no significative investigations analizing the links between economical development and urbanization. Hoping that these will be made in the future, this article states only its more general links in order to concentrate in the analysis of the most relevant urban growth in Mexico during the 20th. century.The essential feature of the 274 Mexican cities in 1988 is their preeminent character. Though the mere presence of Mexico City would confer a metropolitan to the country's urbanization this phenomenon strengthens itself by the emergence of other 26 cities in different stages of metropolitanism.Even though this process can be seen as evidence of a certain territorial dispersion of the population, a metropolitan urban development depending of the new metropolitan nucleous around Mexico City happens in a parallel way.
