前工业化时期的城市化进程是一个重要的考古学问题，因为它与早期复杂社会的出现有关。中美洲考古学家之间存在相当大的争论，涉及这一过程本身的进化性质以及可称为“城市”的中心的配置和功能。这场争论的部分原因是这些中美洲中心之间明显存在的差异，以及文化地区城市化的独特性质，这在重要方面不同于旧世界的类似过程。理查德·福克斯提出的模型组件被用来设置中美洲城市传统到一个更广泛的，多线的进化框架。科潘、特奥蒂-瓦坎、特诺奇蒂特兰和其他中美洲中心提供了比较的例子。
The process of preindustrial urbanization is an important archeological issue because of its association with the emergence of early complex societies. There is considerable debate among Mesoamerican archeologists concerning both the evolutionary nature of the process itself and the configurations and functions of the centers that might be called “urban.” Part of this debate is caused by the variation that clearly exists among such Mesoamerican centers, as well as the distinctive nature of urbanization in the culture area, which differs in important respects from similar processes in the Old World. Components of a model proposed by Richard Fox are used to set the Mesoamerican urban tradition into a wider, multilineal evolutionary framework. Copan, Teoti-huacan, Tenochtitlan, and other Mesoamerican centers provide comparative examples.
