Abstract

The case of Madrid is used as empirical focus to propose a new classification of the metropolitan region urban medium-sized or secondary city system. Based on a methodology that integrates the morphological (size, location and socioeconomic history) and the functional dimensions (centrality index, advanced producer services (APS) concentration and commuting), the article compares new employment centres-cities with metropolitan origin-and historical cities-previously free standing cities, progressively integrated in metropolitan processes. The results show a distinction between (1) metropolitan cities , with a traditional intermediation role, and (2) metropolitan intermediary cities , that include an additional quality to their traditional intermediation role, that of concentrating APS. The article confirms that some medium-sized cities-metropolitan intermediary cities-linked to different origins and up to 100 km away from the metropolis are more visible in the global scene and are establishing an emerging global multicore-network at a metropolitan-regional scale .
