This article concerns several geometric properties of metric measure spaces satisfying the measure contraction property (MCP), which can be considered as a generalized notion of lower Ricci curvature bounds. We prove that the MCP of spaces descends to their products and Euclidean cones. We also show that a positively curved space in terms of the MCP with a maximal diameter can be represented as the spherical suspension of some topological measure space.
