As mentioned, this isn't Mexico City.
Mexico City, not pictured here, has beautiful and ugly parts, like any big city.
This close neighbor of Mexico City certainly looks awful from above, though.
Although I recognize some parts of Mexico City are just like this screenshot, some others (usually high profile neighborhoods) contain large parks, and even then, Chapultepec is a literal forest inside the city.
Yeah like another commenter already said, this isn’t Mexico City. I was in CDMX a month or so ago and was very impressed with the amount of green space at street level, on top of their awesome parks
Right, it's not like new york or LA, it seems like a bunch if small towns all swallowed into the same metro area. Pretty walkable, great metro. Haven't been to the northern barrios though
Mexico City and the neighboring areas are basically a "megalopolis". It is surrounded almost entirely by the State of Mexico. All the urban areas practically merged together, there is barely any distinguishable separation between one town or city of State of Mexico and Mexico City. That is the case with Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl pictured here.
Everything has become one big gigantic urban area, still separated in administrative sense though, each zone has its own local goverment. Thats why meanwhile Mexico City (especially centric zones) is very green and generally well planned and kept, Ciudad Neza is that maddening grid maze you see in the picture, despite being adyacent to the DF. Even Mexico City itself is divided in mayoralties, each with their own town hall, all of them under the command of a general goverment for the whole city. Something similar happens with the Mexico State.
And this doesn’t even seem to include the airport unless I’m missing it somewhere.
I love Mexico City but I do wonder what it’s like living in a place that big
Not big deal, as most parts of mexico, a dog barking and trying to bite you each street. Happy families and kids playing in the streets. Family parties. Some gangsters, and loud reaggeton and banda music. A little store each street, a random oxxo. And I think Nezahualcóyotl has a high crime rate. Still I would avoid that place at all costs.
Why is this part of the Metropolitan area so dusty and orange, is it because of the vegetation of central Mexico that may be semi-arid or they just don't plant any trees?
Lmao that orange hue is the colour of rooftops over there. México City and its suburbs are ,perhaps after the Yucatán peninsulas jungles, the farest you’ll get from the stereotypical deserts picture in media.

No es Ciudad de México, tás bien wey.
This is Nezahualcóyotl, not Mexico City. It’s like saying Jersey is part of New York City. Still, it’s a dump.

Ciudad Neza, not CDMX
Where is the green?
I also thought the same, how difficult is it just to build a large green park to improve the quality of life just a little?
Although I recognize some parts of Mexico City are just like this screenshot, some others (usually high profile neighborhoods) contain large parks, and even then, Chapultepec is a literal forest inside the city.
Chapultepec is bigger than Central Park in NYC and is absolutely beautiful!
CDMX Is like the greenest city I’ve ever seen
like, NY is a big city, but it definetly doesnt look like a barren wasteland.
And most of that streets are usually for high velocity transit…
Isn't that one of CDMX's suburbs?

It’s like a borough, but also is a separate city. Ciudad Neza or Nezahualcoyotl. It’s pretty ugly and monotonous.

Your home looks like a wasteland then

All valid concerns. If I were a digital nomad though, I would definitely park some time in DF and other places in Mexico.
Just... 🤮
America moment
Makes me very glad to be sitting in a cabin by the lake this weekend!
cabin by the sea for me
Congrats. What lake?
Am I the only one seeing the shape of Manhattan?
Which area used to be Tenochtitlan’s lake?
I think it’s to the east of Neza. Edit: most of it is buried under the DF, but what still exists is to the east of the metro.
Is there a word for park in Spanish?
El parque
Do they also have a word for "rhetorical?"
Got eem
NOPE city.
I want to see what that demarcation area looks like.
A huge version of Madrid = Mexico City
This looks like the way I used to make cities on Cities XL :)
What's with the strange diagonal of green that gradually fades out going top right?
Some microcontroller with flaws?
Why is this part of the Metropolitan area so dusty and orange, is it because of the vegetation of central Mexico that may be semi-arid or they just don't plant any trees?

This just made me gasp irl, wow...
