Mexico city is bigger then São Paulo brazil? I think that são paulo has the double number of buildings then Mexico city

Yes Sao Paulo has more buildings than Mexico City. But the buildings of Mexico City are more modern than the ones at Sao Paulo.

(this zone is similar to Paris de la Defense)

Well, Santa Fe is quite modern, but only as far as architecture is concerned... otherwise it's kind of backwards. In super modern La Defense there are nice promenades where people can actually walk, an they do, and you can easily get there from central Paris using the subway. On the other hand, Santa Fe is like many suburbs that flourished in the 60's and 70's, a time in which automobiles were synonimous with modernity and nobody cared about the environment.

At least it has a nice skyline!

one of the world´s best metropolis.9

Great city but the skyline doesn't seem to connected. 8/10

it's because there are 6 skylines ^^^^

It'd be nicer if the talls were clustered. Its got some nice towers.

i think that's fine

Mexico City is quite beautiful in some areas. The skylines are good, but again huge areas remain skyline-less.

Santa Fe is nice, but I personally prefer Reforma and Polanco.

Nice city,some how it looks like Asian City and some pic its look like EUROPE

I've seen a lot's of pics of this city and I don't like this skyline - it's one of the biggest city in the world. In my opinion that kind of city should represent sth more. Maybe this city is cool I don't know - I've never been there but skyline - it's not enough for me.

9/10 to our brothers from mexico

5/10

Hola, les presento un ensayo de fotos, no de la más alta calidad, pero si muy ilustrativas de lo que yo considero el skyline de la ciudad de México, como hemos visto cada quien tiene su "idea" de qué es un skyline.

Es una vista desde el oriente, empezando por el sur, girando a la derecha, hasta el norte. Les digo que es un ensayo porque espero algún día subir tripie, encontrar un lugar bueno en el cerro de Iztapalapa y capturar una larga, larga panorámica de lo que ahora les muestro.

Empezamos por la parte sur, podemos ver la zona de Cuicuilco y Perisur, con edificios interesantes de mediana altura.

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4159/aann8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

En la siguiente nos concentramos más en Periferico Sur y como conforme avanza al norte hay algunas torres más.

http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/1269/abha1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

En la siguiente vemos un pequeño cerrito, pero detrás de él hay algunas torres interesantes como la del FCE, algunas habitacionales, y las de Unefon, siguiendo lo que es el Periferico.

http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/5742/acon0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

En la anterior y en la siguiente se ve el Hospital de Pemex, en la continuación se ven el Hospital Angeles, el Camino Real y varias torres más.

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8492/adra1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

en la que sigue vemos un cluster muy simpático en el cruce de Periferico y San Jeronimo, con el segundo piso, algunos edificios corporativos, hasta ver en la izquierda el edificio nuevo de Insurgentes y Dr. Galvez. También se ve la ciudad universitaria.

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/3702/aera3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

En este acercamiento vemos que decaen los edificos altos, es el paso por la zona de San Angel, zona tradicional.

http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/51/ae2ui1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Pero reinicia todo con las torres sobre Insurgentes, en la zona de Plaza Inn, además de que en el fondo ya vemos algunos edificios cercanos a Santa Fe, en donde están los nuevos desarrollo residenciales de lujo.

http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/3989/afem9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

En esta vemos toda la zona de Santa Fe al fondo y más cerca los edificios de Inrurgentes Sur.

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2963/agkj6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Acá vemos edificios habitacionales de Santa Fe, la Torre Altus de Bosques de las Lomas, además de más edificios en Insurgentes.

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2462/ag2av9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Aqui vemos Bosques de las Lomas, atrás partes de Huixquilucan, más cerca Insurgentes, además del CENART.

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/8822/ahxk9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

En esta vemos todavía a Bosques y los edificios que están en Constituyentes y Reforma, atrás más de Huixquilucan Interlomas, en esta sección Insurgentes tiene poca altura, pero como ya veremos se recuperará

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/2112/ah2na5.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

En esta vemos un tramo de Insurgentes donde no deja de haber varios edificios de 10 a 20 pisos, atrás algunos de Huixquilucan.

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/1910/aiyr3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Regresan las emociones fuertes con algunos muy interesantes edificios en Insurgentes, culminando con el WTC, atrás también se ven algunos de Huixquilucan y algunos de las Lomas o Tecamachalco.

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/403/ajbm9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Aquí persiste el WTC, se ve la Torre de Mexicana y parte de los edificios de las Lomas de Chapultepec y de Polanco.

http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/1240/akph7.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Un traslape de Polanco, Lomas y hasta de la Condesa.

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/3420/alue7.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Vemos como está muy cercano con la zona de Tlaltelolco

Como bonus una vista parcial, como ya les comente de todo está medio en chino, hasta para poder apreciar bien los detalles.

I think I gave this city's skyline a 7.5 years ago. I seriously don't remember on what kinda stuff I was on back then but now that I've come to my senses, I'll give Mexico Citys' overall skyline a 6. Theres definitly some great concentration of buildings in certain areas but they just dont quite impress me all that much even though they could've. With some more buildings of varied height in key locations, this city might just get an 8 from me next time.

7.5, could be more if the buildings stood closer together!

Amazing, large city. A grouped skyline would be nicer. I give it: 8

I'm afraid nationalism has impaired your judgement. I really hope Mexico Cy's rather modest skyline isn't the best in Latin America. Man, I'd hate it if you were right!

^^^^ I totally agree with agomezcepeda, and totally disagree with you, so...?

The point is, express yourself about MC's skyline, but why you have to criticize other's opinion??? :no:

indeed , i agree with you:cheers:

I am not impressed really!

6/10 is just about right for this city

Why is Mexico City not a huge skyscraper city? Is it that it is really spread out, because it's in a prime earthquake zone, or another reason?

Mexico City has a modest skyline...It´s not the best skyline of LA .... Take a look at pictures from Buenos Aires, Santiago, Caracas, Panamá City!!!...gosh! They have the best skylines in LA. Here in Brazil theres no skycrapers with more than 50 floors but we have many denses cities.. A lot of it.. look at São Paulo, Rio and etc.. I love Mexico City.. it has an incredible history, a magic place.. but with no doubts it has a poor skyline.

Why is Mexico City not a huge skyscraper city? Is it that it is really spread out, because it's in a prime earthquake zone, or another reason?

Well there are many reasons. The first one is that the soil of a major part of the city is not suitable to build skyscrapers to this add the fact that we are in a major earthquake zone and the other reason is that it is very expensive to built in the city. Just an example with 100 million dollars you can built a 250 meter skyscraper in Panama City and with the same amount of money in Mexico City you will built nothing larger than 140 meters or so.
So as you can see unfortunately this is not a city that is very suitable to built large amount of skyscrapers for many facts. :ohno:
Still we have the highest skyscraper in Latin America for the moment.

And because is the capital of a poor country, with 1/6 of GDP/percapita compared with USA or Canada. :)


not really, the city's economy is pretty good right now, someone easily could show up and build a 300m monster.

and if all the buildings werent so spread out all over the city and the metro area, it would be compared to Los angeles skyline, almost excatly the same skyline but more diverse; some mexican forist was experimenting the other day, and this was the final result:

8.5/10


I love Mexico City in the most objective way (being mexican myself does not influence me). It has a Sheer Size and wherever you go you can find interesting highrises. Sometimes I wish all buildings were clustered in one spot.

Walking in Paseo de la Reforma is something vitalizing for me, all the activity, the sculptures on the footpad, the variety of car brands is hard to match. You get that feeling that you are in a powerfull place where important things happen (if you know what I mean, that feeling that only a bunch of cities can give). Streetlevel it feels very dense and with a decent height.

I have to agree with some comments...some 4 or 5 200+ mts buildings wisely located would give the city a much higher level worldwide.

I give 7/10 to the skyline and 10/10 to the city itself. Its one of my favorite places. :D

The skyline need a number of 200m+ to really bring it all together. What Mexico city have that other latin american citys dont have in the same way, is great architecture to their skyscrapers. For Mexico city its quality over quantity so to speak. :)

we have to show the skyline, and the people qualify, just that..

ps: last photo is beautiful :drool:

the city is changing so fast with all these contructions (plaza residence,torre reforma, reforma 90, city santa fe, magenta,etc) imagine if the crisis never existed and there would be a supertall under construction rit now and more buildings over 200 meters. :)

i give it an 8.5 out of 10, i think the architecture of the buildings make the city look really elegant and the geographic backdrop, but they are very spread out. saludos desde laredo tamps. I really love how it looks like they take their time with each skyscraper in the country's capital to make art out of them.

very big city ... but...

skyline is good enough.. but falls short to the expectation of being a capital city.

Amazing city with a beautiful skyline!!

mexico city has like 5. skylines:cheers:

There are some really nice buildings in the city but the taller ones are a little too spread out for my taste. It would be nice to have one or two big clusters instead of 5 or 6.

I give it 7.5/10.

What's the land area of Mexico City? The skyline looks big, yet in some shots not as large as well. It'd be nice to know how far it extends.

no es un skyline muy grande, sin embargo muy atractiva... y hay un montón de edificios muy impresionante!

Espero que más edificios se construirán cerca uno del otro por lo que sería una continuidad del skyline!

6,5/10

Many people is unfair with Mexico City skyline....8/10

^^Actually, I think it's the other way around. Mexico City is huge, but its skyline is... not what you'd expect fom a city that big, not even close. Lucky for us, things are changing fast. There's a lot going on right now as far as construction of new skyscrapers is concerned.

7/10

7 skylines i give number 1 6 and 7 a 7 the other 5 or 6.

no tan grande como cabría esperar de una ciudad tan grande. sin embargo, hay muchos edificios de buena calidad.

Please tell me! What is now the most populous city in the world: Shanghai, Tokyo, Beijing, Mexico City or New York? :cheers:

^^^^i looked up in wikipedia and it is like this:

Tokyo...... japan 32,450,000

Seoul.......South Korea 20,550,000

Mexico city..Mexico 20,450,000

New York.....USA 19,750,000

Mumbai........India 19,200,000

one of the biggest city i think ... in the world... fair skyline but the city itself is just great

Please tell me! What is now the most populous city in the world: Shanghai, Tokyo, Beijing, Mexico City or New York? :cheers:

if you mean city not metrop.area it is Shanghai,18.000.000, second biggest
city would be Mumbai with 14.000.000...
NYC is even smaller than at least 2 europ. cities: Moscow, Istanbul

Interesting. However, for statistical purposes it is customary to always consider city and metro area as a whole. After all, in many cases (unless there is a sign or a river, etc.) it is impossible to tell where the damned political limits are, and people commute all the time between different jurisdictions.

One of the best skylines in latin america - the quality of buildings is sometimes rather average (optimistic view ;) ) 8/10

I disagree... because the city was founded on an ancient lake, the foundations are very special, each building is a "masterpiece" of ingeneering and therefore architecture... Some designs might not be so attractive, but making these stand is something pretty difficult and unique.

Torre Mayor's(225mts) foundation system could hold a building 3 times taller than the Empire state (381mts)

cheerzzz

And who cares if Torre Mayor Can Hold 3 times taller than the ES, what´s the point of it?

I would put a 8 for rating because i think Mexico is way low (Design, Arquitechture, Etc) in its Buildings yet, they are so Old and lets say that there are few that really can have the good word which in this case is Skyscrapers.

^^^^^ well my friend, the reason why he said that about foundations was beacause while with the same amount of money spent in a building of 20 floors in Mexico city you can build a +200m building in Panama city, that simple, Mexico city would look a whole lot better if all buidings over 20 floors were actually as tall as Torre Mayor and that Torre Pemex (220m),Torre Mayor(225) WTC (200) torre Altus (196m) were +300 supertalls... give mexico some credit for our great and advanced engineering plus take a look around this thread there really are a lot of great designs in Mexico better that other big cities in the world in my opinion Mexico has the best designs in the americas.

Better skylines in LatinAmerica for me:
Mexico city, Santiago, Rio, Cartagena, Bnos Aires, Tejeringo el Chico jjj

Wooow, increíbles todas las vistas.
