The objective of this article is to conduct an exploratory analysis of the spatial patterns of commercial activity in the city of Portoviejo, highlighting the importance of the degree of dispersion and concentration within the urban area. This analysis uses information available in the GAD Portoviejo database, which allows us to determine the exact location of commercial activities in the city. ArcGIS 10.3 was used to conduct this analysis. The results reveal a strong pattern of concentration in the central area of the urban space. This work contributes to a better understanding of creative urban areas and provides a source of information for the formulation of public policies aimed at the creation of innovative, knowledge-based sectors.
