Population in Mexico City
Effects of over population in Mexico City
There are parts of the world that have an alarming overpopulation rate, one of these locations is
Mexico city which is located in the Federal District, Capital of the Country of Mexico.
Mexico City's enormous population continues to rapidly increase every day. With approximately 20 million residents; up from 9 million only 20 years ago, Mexico City is considered the most populous urban center on earth. There are many people in the country of
Mexico who move to Mexico city because they feel that there are better life and employment
opportunities there, however there are also hundreds of people that are born there every year
and these factors contribute even more to its overcrowding and overpopulation.
Mexico City has a poor living habitat because it is located in the Valley of Mexico, which is
highly vulnerable to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. These natural disasters have caused
much destruction making these grounds to be weak and dry, never the less the city is rapidly
diminishing water supply which adds a danger problem to the overcrowding of it’s population.
Once its water supply is gone, the only way to receive water will be to transport it from across
the mountains. Not only does the city have to pipe water in, but it also has to pipe the sewage
out of waste-filled areas. This would be a very expensive undertaking and could cost Mexico
City a large amount of money. In addition Mexico City contains a extremely high rate of bad air
pollution which is one of the most dangerous problem and health hazard presently facing the
city. The air in the city is so polluted that at times the air quality exceeds 100 times the
acceptable level. There are currently thousands of factories and millions of vehicles are the
main causes of the air pollution in Mexico City. Mexico City has many problems at the present
time, and it does not look as if
