However, prior implementing measures to retain existing residents and attract new ones, it is necessary not to be restricted to mere evidence of a reduction of the number of residents: a more profound diagnosis of the population loss process is required. Within this diagnosis, it is necessary to analyze migratory patterns to and from the centre, with the aim of revealing, among other variables, the profiles of the inhabitants who leave the centre, and where they move. It is only from these variables that it is possible to design adequate urban policies. Also, as the Mexico City case illustrates, it is very important to develop global urban strategies for the whole of the metropolis. specialized Mexico City central areas redensification population loss residential mobility MEXIQUE MEXICO 102 35 105 95-112 2009 0250-7161 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010047688 0250-7161 [F B010047688] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010047688 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers13-12/010047688.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2009-10-07 2017-08-23 fdi:010047688 fre
