Very beautiful,

What I have always wondered is how the Aztecs would have evolved if the Spanish hadn't arrived. They (but also the Incas) were just begining to develop their cities and organising their society to start collecting tax, like the "Old World" had done thousands of years earlier.

Sorry for this little off topic thing of mine. ;)

Wow most of the police officers I've seen in Mexico are very unattractive, short and fat, whether man or woman, Mexico City or Provincia, but this one is a beauty! Arrest me, señora policía!

Anyway, Mexico City is one amazing city! What a capital! But such capital needs a better country. Maybe the next goal for Mexicans is to finally have their first "native" Mexican president like Bolivia...a real-ish Aztec or Mayan-blooded president or atleast a Mestizo, and for its people to overthrow it's corrupt, predominantly Criollo political power. Afterall, most Mexican citizens have more native-Mexican blood than Spanish blood, and that should reflect in its government! Just a Saturday morning thought that I may or may not regret. :)

Wow most of the police officers I've seen in Mexico are very unattractive, short and fat, whether man or woman, Mexico City or Provincia, but this one is a beauty! Arrest me, señora policía!

Anyway, Mexico City is one amazing city! What a capital! But such capital needs a better country. Maybe the next goal for Mexicans is to finally have their first "native" Mexican president like Bolivia...a real-ish Aztec or Mayan-blooded president or atleast a Mestizo, and for its people to overthrow it's corrupt, predominantly Criollo political power. Afterall, most Mexican citizens have more native-Mexican blood than Spanish blood, and that should reflect in its government! Just a Saturday morning thought that I may or may not regret. :)

What's race got to do with any thing? I don't care if my president is Nordic, Arab, Black, Jewish, Asian, American Indian, or which ever mix of all of the above, as long as he (or she) is honest and qualified for the job.

By the way, El Santo, thanks for the pics.

About Mexico as a whole being underestimated, I also agree (thanks to stupic Hollywood and its movies). I mean, some people are so ignorant that they think people in Mexico City use donkeys as means of transportation. It's a sad fact, but they don't know better, they just need to travel.

Well, I just bought my ticket to come to Mexico City from June 30 - July 5. Any Mexico City forumers want to make me a list of the absolute must-see areas? A tour of the best that one of the world's largest cities has to offer? :) Keep in mind, like everybody else here, I am a city/development/planning geek. Also wouldn't mind some tips on good places to go hang out, maybe to watch a World Cup match and have a beer. I am very excited though... I needed a 5 day vacation and it seemed like an awesome place to try.

The United Nations disagrees with you. According to the UN, yes, Mexico City is the world's 2nd largest urban agglomeration. If you have a better source, I am open to hearing it, because my research and graduate work relied on the UN. I'd hate to learn now that there is a better source out there.

And as for your 2nd point, city populations do not matter, and everybody here recognizes that.

:( These photos of Mexico City are always the same places in the same buildings, but at different angles!

The skyline of the city is too small for its size! :ohno:

not really.... ever since the earthquake of 1985 the government set restrictions for the whole city and at a time period only allowed a 5 floor limit on buildings
and until now. and Mexico City already has a boom , but not as big as Dubai obviously.

Also the pictures are not all just one area and some are , but they area t differnet times, to show the growth in the area.
You will notice that Mexico City is going to have a better skyline by the end of this year.

Also Mexico City isnt like other cities like NY or Dubai, it has earthquakes which leaves some safety restrcitions on construction, it also has volcanos so some areas that are a big part of the city cant be used to build skyscrapers. And in the center of the city and most of it, under the ground is a dried up lake bed which also leaves precautions on buildings so they wont sink or tip to the side or bounce off the lakebed..cuz its like a a sponge.
