%X we explore the urban structure of eight metropolitan areas that surround mexico city, forming its regional belt, by identifying spatial clusters within metropolitan areas with a regionally standardized local-spatial-autocorrelation procedure. the analysis reveals clear concentric urban ring patterns around the city centers; these patterns have different levels of complexity, suggesting diverse stages of evolution of the urban structure of these metropolitan areas.
