Urban competitiveness has been a recurrent topic during recent decades. Diverse articles have been published on this issue, showing rankings of countries or cities around the world, based on diverse factors. Nevertheless, these studies do not reveal the particularities of the cities in each country and they lead to unclear interpretations of results. Th is article presents a methodological proposal to build a competitiveness index for Mexican cities Í€“2003 and 2007Í€“derived from a literature review and a resulting model based on four components: urban-environmental, economic, socio-demographic and institutional. Th e objective is to show the characteristics and capacities of the cities of a country in terms of competitiveness and to provide useful elements for public policy formulation.
