Mexico City : A Modern Knowledge City [HD]

As in any megacity, Mexico City faces a variety of environmental challenges. Urban growth, combined with a rising middle class population, today requires innovative thinking and policies in urban planning, transportation, air pollution, water scarcity and solid waste, among others. Mexico City has adopted a 15-year Green Plan to address these environmental challenges simultaneously.

Mexico City is also providing global leadership to promote sustainability among world cities; a recent global summit of mayors, hosted by Mayor Marcelo Ebrard, resulted in more than 300 cities signing The Mexico City Pact, an agreement to address climate change and reduce GHG emissions.

i have to admit, the rest of mexico might be falling apart, but Mexico city is a country of its own, and it's thriving, they have a leftist government for 20 years now i believe, and its working great for them. i think that's the key factor , they keep federal government intrusion to a minimum. If other Mexican states and cities want to progress, they ll need to create autonomous regions with home-rule and keep the worthless, useless, corrupt federal government out.

@JohnRhysMusician left means more funds for social programs, low-cost healthcare, scholarships, low-interest loan housing, more public schools, libraries, theaters, and cultural centers. Right means, more power to the state and privileges to the elite rich high class. oligarchy in other words. at least that what it means in Mexico, that's why the leftist presidency candidate is more likely to win June,2012 elections.

@qetuo1000 Is it worth mentioning that the vast tracts of Mexico City house people who live in squalid poverty? Mexico City is by no means a utopia, and although there is much more investment, culture and progress, there are innumerable problems that Mexico City shares with the rest of the republic. I do agree with you however, that leftist policies provide the best results in Mexico, especially because the country lacks so many basic services that only leftist policies can bring about.

@JesusIJ93 Ahhh I see, that's great, that's just what I did but I studied 4-5 years in the US, which was second semester of 8th grade and up to 12th grade. I will be taking a shot to UNAM.

@JesusIJ93 Yes dude I know, you don't have to talk to me as if I was a prospective tourist, I was born in Mexico and I will be attending college in Mexico City this fall. The only thing is that I studied high school abroad and I'm not full blooded mexican but I'm really proud of Mexico City, I can't wait to move there!! How about you? how come you speak english?

[JesusIJ93]

would you like that your taxes were spend in Washington?

@Kalvin40 if you want to get some fun.. MEXICO

[Kalvin40]

I in no form agree with the left since I'm a fervent right winger but I must accept that the current government in Mexico City is doing positive things for the city. By the way, TELEVISA is right wing...

[Kalvin40]

Mexico City or Vienna? where would you rather live?
