Abstract
The study of big cities’ tendency to decentralisation is in the current agenda to understand the structure of Latin American cities. In general, centres and subcentres are related to specific functions. According to the theories of the movement economy and centrality as a process, the urban grid shapes land use distribution through movement and therefore is the main determinant of the location of ‘live centres’, a key component of centres. Activities related to ‘live centres’ include retail, catering and other movement dependent uses. However, the distribution of this kind of activity in cities like Mexico is not as spatially clear as it is in organically grown cities. In this paper we show that, nonetheless complex, there is a relationship between the location of ‘live centre’ uses and spatial configuration. We use multiple logistic regression to evaluate exactly how much influence each variable has on the outcome ‘shop’ given the presence of all the others. The results also suggest different spatial influences for different types of retail on different scales of centres.
