Amazing Photos Of Mexico City Show That Natural Boundaries Are No Match For Urban Sprawl — Unbelievable aerial photographs of Mexico City show how the urban landscape spreads over mountains while maintaining a remarkable 25,400 people per square mile. “In a megalopolis like Mexico City,” photographer Pablo Lopez Muz tells the Daily Mail, “the relationship between man and space is ever so apparent.”

 

Mexico City’s “sprawling suburbs” are home to over 20 million people, making it the most populous city in the western hemisphere.

While half of Mexico’s population lives in poverty, the capital city is among the country’s richest.
