This project has the following two main objectives: to identify the forms of urban and institutional organization of the major metropolitan regions of the world, and to offer this information in a simple, acces- sible way to the association’s member cities and the people in charge of them, via a database. The complete versions of the city files as well as the present document can be found in the Metropolis Website1. An attempt was made to improve the preliminary document to provide a more homogenous view of the cities presented and to bet- ter reflect the urban reality of the metropolitan regions. As with the preliminary version, the document aims to generate a debate about the different aspects of the project itself: about the minimum content the database should cover, the suitability of updating it on a regular basis, and the form that would ensure optimal dissemination so that in the future it might become a worldwide reference on the structure of gov- ernment of metropolitan regions. The research involved a detailed description of the essential elements of government of the greatest possible number of metropolitan regions. For this reason, the research did not focus on providing a compre- hensive description of all of the dimensions of each city, but rather on obtaining a concise yet truthful image of the cities. To date, the research has involved a selection of 72 metropolitan regions, as shown in the graph below (the 38 cities high- lighted in bold text are METROPOLIS members): UN Population UN Population UN Population Ranking Metropolis Country 2007 Ranking Metropolis Country 2007 Ranking Metropolis Country 2007 2007 (mill) 2007 (mill) 2007 (mill) 1 Tokyo Japan 35.7 25 Guangzhou China 8.8 65 Sydney Australia 4.3 2 New York USA 19.0 26 London United Kingdom 8.6 66 Guadalajara Mexico 4.2 3 Mexico City Mexico 19.0 27 Lima Peru 8.0 69 Detroit USA 4.1 4 Mumbai India 19.0 28 Tehran Iran 7.9 70 Frankfurt* Germany 3.7 5 Sao Paulo Brazil 18.8 32 Essen-Dortmund* Germany 6.6 73 Porto Alegre Brazil 3.9 6 Delhi India 15.9 33 Hong Kong China 7.2 75 Abidjan Ivory Coast 3.8 7 Shanghai China 15.0 34 Tianjin China 7.2 76 Melbourne Australia 3.7 8 Kolkata India 14.8 37 Bangkok Thailand 6.7 77 Ankara Turkey 3.7 9 Dhaka Bangladesh 13.5 41 Santiago Chile 5.7 78 Monterrey Mexico 3.7 10 Buenos Aires Argentina 12.8 42 Miami USA 5.6 80 Montreal Canada 3.7 11 Los Angeles USA 12.5 43 Belo Horizonte Brazil 5.6 88 San Francisco USA 3.5 12 Karachi Pakistan 12.1 44 Madrid Spain 5.6 89 Johannesburg South Africa 3.4 13 Cairo Egypt 11.9 45 Philadelphia USA 5.5 90 Berlin Germany 3.4 14 Rio de Janeiro Brazil 11.7 47 Ho Chi Minh City Viet Nam 5.3 93 Roma Italy 3.3 15 Osaka-Kobe Japan 11.3 48 Toronto Canada 5.2 97 Athens Greece 3.2 16 Beijing China 11.1 50 Barcelona Spain 4.9 108 Seattle USA 3.1 17 Metro Manila Philippines 11.1 51 Dallas USA 4.8 115 Milan Italy 2.9 18 Moscow Russia 10.5 55 Saint Petersburg Russia 4.6 117 Stuttgart* Germany 2.7 19 Istanbul Turkey 10.1 58 Atlanta USA 4.5 164 Manchester United Kingdom 2.2 20 Paris France 9.9 59 Boston USA 4.5 169 Havana Cuba 2.2 21 Seoul Republic of Korea 9.8 61 Houston USA 4.5 220 Brussels Belgium 1.7 22 Lagos Nigeria 9.5 62 Singapore Singapore 4.4 226 Varsovia Poland 1.7 23 Jakarta Indonesia 9.1 63 Hanoi Viet Nam 4.4 337 Munich Germany 1.3 24 Chicago USA 9.0 64 Washington USA 4.3 340 Stockholm Sweden 1.3 * Data of 2003 The following introductory chapter analyzes the methodological aspects of the research carried out. It goes into depth about the thematic areas analyzed to perform the study and lists the sources of information used. The chapter that follows it constitutes the body of the working document. It provides a detailed report for each of the 72 cities mentioned, organized by METROPOLIS’s geographical regions. 1 www.metropolis.org 5 METHODOLOGICAL INTRODUCTION Defining a study object – in our case, the planet’s largest cities – was the first problem that needed to be addressed when tackling this study. Although it is easy to establish a size based on which an urban agglomeration can be considered to be “large” – for instance, population – this presents some difficulties. To do it, it is necessary to specify the territorial units that will be taken into account and, a homogeneous and comparable statistical source must be available in order to identify the cities. As in the preliminary version, the decision was made to use the statistics provided by the United Nations Organization in its document on Urban Agglomerations of the Planet as an initial point of reference. In the latest document, published in 20072, the 431 urban agglomerations whose population as estimated by the UN is equal to or greater than 1 million inhab- itants (see chart pages 7 to 11) were included. Also, according to the UN definition, the inhabitants of an urban agglom- eration reside in a continuous territory, whose neighborhoods are defined without bearing administrative borders in mind, and whose density of residency is of an urban level. An urban agglomeration is, according to the UN data, just a statistical concept that makes it possible to make approximations about the cities of the world. It is not related with any area in par- ticular, which makes it difficult for us to compare, for example, city densities. That is why the data generated by the UN have been used solely as an instrument to mark the maximum sphere of study, i.e., 431 cities, and to establish a simple and unified organization of the metropolitan regions studied. In this second version, the structure of a total of 72 metropolitan agglomerations was studied, including the 28 most pop- ulated metropolises according to the UN report, plus a representative selection of cities from around the world. Information about three areas was collected for each of the metropolitan regions: the demographic and geographical char- acters of the urban agglomeration, comparing them with those of their countries, the administrative structure present in the metropolitan area, and a description of the institutional framework and political powers. 2 The 2007 UN figures are found at: http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/wup2007/2007urban_agglo.htm 6 METROPOLITAN REGIONS OF THE WORLD UN’s Urban Agglomerations 2007 Urban Agglomeration Country Population Ranking Urban Agglomeration Country Population Ranking (millons) (millons) 1975 2007 2025 2007 1975 2007 2025 2007 Tokyo Japan 26.6 35.7 36.4 1 Sankt Peterburg New York-Newark USA 15.9 19.0 20.6 2 (Saint Petersburg) Russian Federation 4.3 4.6 4.5 55 Mexico City Mexico 10.7 19.0 21.0 3 Chittagong Bangladesh 1.0 4.5 7.6 56 Mumbai (Bombay) India 7.1 19.0 26.4 4 Dongguan, Guangdong China 0.9 4.5 6.2 57 São Paulo Brazil 9.6 18.8 21.4 5 Atlanta USA 1.4 4.5 5.2 58 Delhi India 4.4 15.9 22.5 6 Boston USA 3.2 4.5 5.0 59 Shanghai China 7.3 15.0 19.4 7 Ar-Riyadh (Riyadh) Saudi Arabia 0.7 4.5 6.3 60 Kolkata (Calcutta) India 7.9 14.8 20.6 8 Houston USA 2.0 4.5 5.0 61 Dhaka Bangladesh 2.2 13.5 22.0 9 Singapore Singapore 2.3 4.4 5.1 62 Buenos Aires Argentina 8.7 12.8 13.8 10 Hà Noi Viet Nam 1.9 4.4 6.8 63 Los Angeles- Washington, D.C.

    COVID-19 in Mexico: a Network of Epidemics

    COVID-19 in Mexico: A Network of Epidemics Guillermo de Anda-J´auregui1;2 1 Computational Genomics Division, National Institute of Genomic Medicine, Mexico City, Mexico 2C´atedrasConacyt Para J´ovenes Investigadores, National Council on Science and Technology, Mexico City, Mexico Abstract Mexico, like the rest of the world, is currently facing the The COVID-19 pan- demic. Given the size of its territory, the efforts to contain the disease have involved both national and regional measures. For this work, the curves of daily new cases of each municipality reported by the federal government were com- pared. We found that 114 municipalities form a large network of statistically dependent epidemic phenomena. Based on the network's modular structure, these 114 municipalities can be split into four distinct communities of coor- dinated epidemic phenomena. These clusters are not limited by geographical proximity. These findings can be helpful for public health officials for the eval- uation of past strategies and the development of new directed interventions. 1 Introduction Mexico reported its first imported case of COVID-19 in late February [1]. Since then, COVID-19 has extended throughout the Mexican territory, with over 90,000 accumulated cases and over 10,000 confirmed deaths by June 2020 [2] The federal government reported a major re-conversion project to increase its hospital capacity [3]. Due to the lack of pharmacological treatments against SARS-CoV-2, Mexico, like the rest of the world, resorted to the use of Non Pharmacological Interventions (NPI) to manage the spread of the disease; these arXiv:2006.11635v1 [physics.soc-ph] 20 Jun 2020 efforts were branded as the "National Period of Healthy Distance" ("Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia," JNSD), originally planned to last from March 23rd to April 30th, and then extended through May 30th [4].
