Morning drive. Center of Mexico City. On Paseo de la Reforma! Love it! Paseo de la Reforma, to Polanco, to Santa Fe, to the edge of Mexico City. The Paseo de la Reforma area is like the Midtown Manhattan, Polanco compares to Beverly Hills, and Santa Fe looks like Singapore's downtown core. Paseo de la Reforma itself is similar to the Champs-Élysées in Paris. What global city districts would you compare these CDMX locations to? Let me know in the comments!

Mexico City is the densely populated, high-altitude capital of Mexico. It's known for its Templo Mayor (a 13th-century Aztec temple), the baroque Catedral Metropolitana de México of the Spanish conquistadors and the Palacio Nacional, which houses historic murals by Diego Rivera. All of these are situated in and around the Plaza de la Constitución, the massive main square also known as the Zócalo. ― Google

Polanco. World-famous brands and upscale international restaurants line Avenida Presidente Masaryk, the premier shopping avenue at the heart of this prestigious district. Leafy side streets host Spanish Colonial Revival mansions and luxe apartments. To the north, Nuevo Polanco features modern architecture, including the futuristic Museo Soumaya, with its vast Rodin collection, and one of Latin America's largest aquariums.

Santa Fe, dominated by corporate skyscrapers, is Mexico City's most modern district. The streets are bustling during working hours and quieter by night, and are home to international restaurants ranging from fast food to upscale. The area features several college campuses and global chain hotels, as well as the Centro Santa Fe, a sprawling 500-store shopping mall, which is among the largest in Latin America. ― Google

Paseo de la Reforma (translated as "Promenade of the Reform") is a wide avenue that runs diagonally across the heart of Mexico City. It was designed at the behest of Emperor Maximilian by Ferdinand von Rosenzweig during the era of the Second Mexican Empire and modeled after the great boulevards of Europe, such as the Ringstraße in Vienna and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

It is now home to many of Mexico's tallest buildings such as the Torre Mayor and others in the Zona Rosa. More modern extensions continue the avenue at an angle to the old Paseo. To the northeast it continues toward Tlatelolco, where it changes its name near the Plaza de las Tres Culturas. There it divides into Calzada de Guadalupe and Calzada de los Misterios that continue toward La Villa. Its western portion going west from Chapultepec Park passes south of Polanco on its way through the affluent neighborhood of Lomas de Chapultepec and then into Cuajimalpa and Santa Fe on the outskirts of the city, although when it reaches this point it is more a highway than a promenade.

Mexico City (Spanish: Ciudad de México; CDMX) is the capital and largest city of Mexico, and the most populous city in North America. It is one of the country's 32 federal entities. Mexico City is one of the most important cultural and financial centers in the world. It is located in the Valley of Mexico in the high central plateau, at an altitude of 2,240 meters (7,350 ft). The city has 16 boroughs or demarcaciones territoriales, which are in turn divided into neighborhoods or colonias.

The 2020 population for the city proper was 9,209,944, with a land area of 1,495 square kilometers (577 sq mi). According to the most recent definition agreed upon by the federal and state governments, the population of Greater Mexico City is 21,804,515, which makes it the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the world, the second-largest urban agglomeration in the Western Hemisphere (behind São Paulo, Brazil), and the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world. Greater Mexico City has a GDP of $411 billion in 2011, which makes it one of the most productive urban areas in the world. The city was responsible for generating 15.8% of Mexico's GDP, and the metropolitan area accounted for about 22% of the country's GDP. If it were an independent country in 2013, Mexico City would be the fifth-largest economy in Latin America.
