title: [Demographic dynamics of urban growth in Mexico:  1940-1980].
abstract: "In this article, the author analyzes the relationship between growth rates and the sizes of cities [in Mexico] to determine what kind of cities are the most dynamic ones in terms of their demographic growth during the 1940-1980 period.  [His findings contradict] the widespread belief that in Mexico, as of 1970, there has been a process of 'metropolitanization' and of 'growth of intermediate cities'."  He proposes changes to current population policy, which attempts to control urban growth through regulation. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
