 | Mexico City by Nick Caistor
Mexico City is a place of superlatives. The oldest city in the Americas, it is now the world's largest urban area. Formerly the center of the Aztec and Spanish empires, this vast modern metropolis is home to over fifteen million people, mirroring Mexico's mixed cultural identity. Rapid growth and industrial expansion have created dramatic environmental problems, turning Mexico City into what has been called the first post-apocalypse city. Polluted and congested, it is slowly sinking into the lake on which the Spanish founded their symbol of conquest. AUTHOR: Nick Caistor
