| Air pollution over Mexico City in December 2010. | WIKI |
| By the 1990s Mexico City had become infamous as one of the world's most polluted cities; however, the city has become a model for drastically lowering pollution levels. | WIKI |
| The levels of signature pollutants in Mexico City are similar to those of Los Angeles. | WIKI |
| Mexico City's Legislative Assembly building | WIKI |
| The two main candidates to become the capital were Mexico City and Querxc3xa9taro. | WIKI |
| Due in large part to the persuasion of representative Servando Teresa de Mier, Mexico City was chosen because it was the center of the country's population and history, even though Querxc3xa9taro was closer to the center geographically. | WIKI |
| In 1854 president Antonio Lxc3xb3pez de Santa Anna enlarged the area of Mexico City almost eightfold from the original 220 to 1,700xc2xa0km2 (80 to 660xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi), annexing the rural and mountainous areas to secure the strategic mountain passes to the south and southwest to protect the city in event of a foreign invasion. | WIKI |
| The last changes to the limits of Mexico City were made between 1898 and 1902, reducing the area to the current 1,479xc2xa0km2 (571xc2xa0sqxc2xa0mi) by adjusting the southern border with the state of Morelos. | WIKI |
| By that time, the total number of municipalities within Mexico City was twenty-two. | WIKI |
| While Mexico City was ruled by the federal government through an appointed governor, the municipalities within it were autonomous, and this duality of powers created tension between the municipalities and the federal government for more than a century. | WIKI |
| The Central Department was integrated by the former municipalities of Mexico City, Tacuba, Tacubaya and Mixcoac. | WIKI |
| In 1941, the General Anaya borough was merged with the Central Department, which was then renamed "Mexico City" (thus reviving the name but not the autonomous municipality). | WIKI |
| From 1941 to 1970, the Federal District comprised twelve delegaciones and Mexico City. | WIKI |
| In 1970, Mexico City was split into four different delegaciones: Cuauhtxc3xa9moc, Miguel Hidalgo, Venustiano Carranza and Benito Juxc3xa1rez, increasing the number of delegaciones to 16. | WIKI |
| Since then, the whole Federal District, whose delegaciones had by then almost formed a single urban area, began to be considered de facto a synonym of Mexico City. | WIKI |
| In 1993, the situation was solved by an amendment to the 44th article of the Constitution of Mexico; Mexico City and the Federal District were stated to be the same entity. | WIKI |
| On 29 January 2016, Mexico City ceased to be the Federal District (Spanish: Distrito Federal or D.F. | WIKI |
| [25] On that date, Mexico City began a transition to become the country's 32nd federal entity, giving it a level of autonomy comparable to that of a state. | WIKI |
| Mexico City, being the seat of the powers of the Union, belongs not to any particular state but to all of them. | WIKI |
| Therefore, the president, representing the federation, used to designate the head of government of the national capital (today the head of the government of Mexico City), sometimes called outside Mexico as the "Mayor" of Mexico City. | WIKI |
| In response to the demands, Mexico City received a greater degree of autonomy, with the 1987 elaboration the first Statute of Government (Estatuto de Gobierno) and the creation of an assembly of representatives. | WIKI |
| [citation needed] In the 1990s, this autonomy was further expanded, and since 1997, residents can directly elect the head of government to Mexico City and the representatives of a unicameral Legislative Assembly, which succeeded the previous assembly, by popular vote. | WIKI |
| He resigned in 1999 to run in the 2000 presidential elections and designated Rosario Robles to succeed him, who became the first woman, elected or otherwise, to govern Mexico City. | WIKI |
| According to the 44th article of the Mexican Constitution, if the powers of the Union move to another city, Mexico City would become a new state, the "State of the Valley of Mexico", with the new limits set by the Congress of the Union. | WIKI |

| Mexico City is divided into 40 electoral constituencies of similar population which elect one representative by the plurality voting system, locally called "uninominal deputies." | WIKI |
| Mexico City, as a whole, is a single constituency for the parallel election of 26 representatives, elected by proportional representation, with open-party lists, locally called "plurinominal deputies." | WIKI |
| The politics pursued by the administrations of heads of government in Mexico City since the second half of the 20th century have usually been more liberal than those of the rest of the country, whether with the support of the federal government, as was the case with the approval of several comprehensive environmental laws in the 1980s, or by laws that were since approved by the Legislative Assembly. | WIKI |

| In recent years, much of northern Mexico City's industry has moved to nearby municipalities in the State of Mexico. | WIKI |
| Northwest of Mexico City itself is Ciudad Satxc3xa9lite, a vast middle-class to upper-middle-class residential and business area. | WIKI |
| In contrast, the boroughs of Xochimilco (172nd), Tlxc3xa1huac (177th), and Iztapalapa (183rd) presented the lowest HDI values of Mexico City, with values of 0.8481, 0.8473, and 0.8464, respectively, which are still in the global high-HDI range. | WIKI |
| Mexico City's HDI for the 2005 report was 0.9012 (very high), and its 2010 value of 0.9225 (very high), or (by newer methodology) 0.8307, was Mexico's highest. | WIKI |

| [9] In terms of population, the biggest municipalities that are part of Greater Mexico City (excluding Mexico City proper) are in the State of Mexico:[9] | WIKI |
| The net migration rate of Mexico City proper from 1995 to 2000 was negative,[101] which implies that residents are moving to the suburbs of the metropolitan area, or to other states of Mexico. | WIKI |

| Between 2000 and 2004 an average of 478 crimes were reported each day in Mexico City; however, the actual crime rate is thought to be much higher "since most people are reluctant to report crime". | WIKI |
| [102] Under policies enacted by Mayor Marcelo Ebrard between 2009 and 2011, Mexico City underwent a major security upgrade with violent and petty crime rates both falling significantly despite the rise in violent crime in other parts of the country. | WIKI |
| Mexico City has one of the world's highest police officer-to-resident ratios, with one uniformed officer per 100 citizens. | WIKI |
| [106] In addition to street harassment, one of the places where women in Mexico City live in violence is public transport. | WIKI |
