Abstract: The research adresses the relation between proximity to employment and commuting distance for the case of Mexico City. Two mechanisms can reduce commuting distance associated to changes in proximity to employment: co-location (a more balanced relation between workers and employment at a local level) reduces the number of external commuters, and b) a decrease in external commuting distance since external commuters go to a periferic employment subcenter closer that the main CBD. Our results indicate that the decrase in commuting distances is only explained by co-location, questioning the positive effect of polycentrism in terms of mobility.
