The map would be useful, but it is misleading: the areas of entire municipalities are shaded even if only a small section of it is urbanized: that is why metropolitan areas in the north seem to be almost ten times as large as those in the south (see: Municipalities of Mexico for further details). I believe the map should be deleted until corrected: only urbanized areas should be shaded. --the Dúnadan 02:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the map thing, also, why is Ensenada not included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luiseargote (talk • contribs) 18:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mexicali, Hermosillo, Culiacán, etc.

The reason why these were not included in the list provided by INEGI is that they do not fulfill the criteria to be defined as metropolitan areas. These cities are fully contained within the limits of their municipalities (therefore they do not fit into the first criterion), their population does not exceed 1 million (therefore they do not fit the second criterion) and they do not form large urban agglomerations with American metropolitan areas (therefore they do not fit the third criterion; Calexico is not counted as a large urban area).

In reality, if this article is solely about metropolitan areas, as defined by INEGI, they should not be included in the list.

Updated list based on latest CONAPO definitions

Hi! CONAPO published in 2018 the latest definitions of metropolitan zones. It now includes 74. I updated the list, plus added the area, number of municipalities, and main cities. Also added the definition info along with older definitions to the Methodology section. I will add the info from the 2020 Census once the info is published by INEGI.

During the next weeks, I will be creating/updating/standardising individual pages for each metropolitan zone, they need a lot of work. Any ideas on the template, I'm all eyes. Cheers. Coyatoc (talk) 12:20, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Happy new year! San Francisco Bay Area was a GA promoted in 2017 and is a good reference point. I'd proceed with caution when creating new articles – if the notion of a metropolitan area was first applied to a particular city in 2018, a stand-alone article may not necessarily meet WP:GNG yet. Metropolitan areas that are contiguous with a single municipality don't need stand-alone pages. Even for small metropolitan areas that consist of only a handful of municipalities, creating a section in the article on the central municipality that describes its relationship with the surrounding metropolitan area might be preferable to creating a separate article, to avoid unnecessary duplication of content. Note also that occasionally CONAPO's definition of metropolitan areas may not necessarily coincide with other (e.g., legal) definitions: es:Zona metropolitana de León#Delimitación de la Zona Metropolitana de León is one example.

Happy New Year to you too! Adding a section or a note to the central municipality page is a great idea. I will start with some of middle-tier areas, making sure to specify the info is based on CONAPO's list and stating (if needed) that different definitions could be available. Larger areas like Guadalajara and Monterrey may need more work to keep them up-to-date. Cheers.Coyatoc (talk) 11:23, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for updating the list with the latest census figures. I noticed you had translated zona metropolitana as "metropolitan zone". Unless you are trying to convey that the Mexican term is conceptually distinct from what demographers in English-speaking countries generally call a "metropolitan area", I would use the standard English term. I have made a global replacement. Cobblet (talk) 02:11, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
