The Interesting Urbanism of Ciudad de Mexico (CDMX)

[@diegoroell5171]

Fantastic explanation of my hometown's urbanism! Sounds like you didn't really use cars while you were there so I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't hear, but there is a program specifically meant to address air pollution and traffic congestion called "Hoy No Circula", in which cars aren't allowed to drive in the city on certain days depending on the last number of their plate and age of the car. Cars are emissions tested and newer, less polluting models get exemptions, meaning a significant portion of cars in the city are barred from circulating on any given day. Has helped quite a bit with air quality, I remember there were days where the sky was so gray or even brown but now I see blue a lot more often :)

The metro iconography was ment for a time when many could not read, like the 1970s when the literacy rates even in the cities was quite low. Nowadays that's not really an issue anymore, but the designs are an important part of the city's cultural identity. Great video.

This is a pretty great video explaining how people get around in Mexico City. They have a big car problem like many US cities but unlike many US cities, they have other options for transportation 👍 Their bike lanes aren’t as protected as Dutch ones (and they don’t have any traffic signals) but they’re definitely much more developed than most of the ones in America and they’ve also got bike culture down with the vendors on bikes. Great video! Hope you get more views.

Filming erupting El Popo: mad respect. (This kind of natural event would exist in continental US if the many many volcanoes in the lower 48 would actually bother to erupt!!!!)
