Resumen
The article compares the primacy of Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City in the era of exported development. It compares their demographic growth and their importance to their national urban systems over time, questioning the relative importance of the pre-Columbian population, colonial traditions, political influence, and economic power in establishing and retaining their primacy. It concludes that while both capitals benefitted from political hegemony and economic dominance, Mexico City was relatively more dependent on the political mechanisms of internal colonialism to maintain its primacy; Rio was more a creation of economic factors.
