Pour faire face à la croissance de l'urbanisation et aux besoins accrus des citadins, le gouvernement mexicain tente de mettre en place une politique d'encadrement et de soutien des villes intermédiaires, considérées comme une alternative à la prédominance de Mexico, Guadalajara et Monterrey. Mais dans un contexte économique néolibéral peu favorable aux grandes politiques d'aménagement du territoire, la marge de manœuvre de l'État semble particulièrement réduite et les actions engagées, malgré d'incontestables réussites, peuvent paraître marginales. L'exemple de Toluca, capitale de l'État de Mexico, permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux, les avancées et les limites du Programme des Cent Villes lancé en 1993 pour revitaliser des centres urbains qui regroupent aujourd'hui plus de 30 millions d'habitants.
To face the increasing urbanization and the growing needs of the people in the cities, the Mexican government is trying to establish a framework of laws that would support the medium-sized cities that are regarded as an alternative to the predominance of Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey. But in a neo-liberal economic context, wich is little in favor to important land resettlments, the State can hardly do anything and the programs wich have already been started, in spite of incontestable succes, can seem marginal. The example of Toluca, the capital of the State of Mexico, allows us to undestand better the stakes, the progress, and the limits of the Hundred Cities Program wich started in 1993 in order to revitalize medium-size cities, wich now have more than 30 million inhabitants.
