Abstract

This article analyzes Ciudad de México in its way to a global city. It is explored that -due to globalization, and as part of its process- Mexican capital city it is changing from a national metropolis to a "hinge" between Mexican economy and global economy. Accordingly, it is an important place for the production and managment of globalization in México. This has consequences over the economic, social and spatial structure of the Metropolitan Zone of Ciudad de México (ZMCM). It is also shown that the ZMCM is well integrated to the transnational global cities net.
