Hi everyone. This new thread involves an israeli major city with a latin american city, pretty interesting uh? This thread is not only about skylines, is about the cities as a whole. Both cities are very different, different culture, different continents, different skylines, different spoken languages... facts that turns this poll even more interesting...

Mexico city is an ancient prehispanic city in America plus one of the largest cities in the world and personally i think is a very dynamic city. Tel Aviv is a recent modern city located in the israeli mediterranean coast, and is consider by many as one of the wildest cities in the world.

I'm going to begin describing TEL AVIV, because i guess not many people here know about this city, and my mexican friends are going to do the same with Mexico City (i hope!).

THIS PAGE IS GOING TO BE HEAVY BECAUSE OF ALL THE PICS SO PLEASE BE PATIENT, IT WORTH IT...

By the way, i'm going to publish the poll until i complete all the pics, you can't vote without taking a look to the cities right?

Hola a todos. Este nuevo tema involucra a una urbe israeli con una ciudad latinoamericana. Muy interesante no? Este tema no es unicamente acerca de skylines, sino que es acerca de las ciudades como un todo. Ambas ciudades son muy diferentes, diferente cultura, diferentes continentes, diferente skyline, diferente idioma... Lo que hace de esta encuesta aun mas interesante.

Ciudad de Mexico es una antigua ciudad prehispanica en America ademas de ser una de las ciudades mas grandes del mundo, y personalmente creo que es una ciudad muy dinamica. Tel Aviv es una reciente y moderna ciudad ubicada en la costa mediterranea de Israel, y es considerada por muchos como una de las ciudades mas "atrevidas" del mundo!

Empezare describiendo a TEL AVIV porque me imagino que no muchos aqui conoceran acerca de esta ciudad, y mis amigos mexicanos haran lo mismo con Ciudad de Mexico. (Por lo menos eso espero )


ESTA PAGINA QUEDARA ALGO PESADA POR TODAS LAS IMAGENES PERO POR FAVOR SEAN PACIENTES, VALE LA PENA...

Por cierto, publicare la encuesta abierta hasta que publique las fotos. No pueden votar sin haber visto a las ciudades cierto?

Para mis amigos mexicanos espero me ayuden con sus buenas galerias de fotos de ciudad de Mexico que sirvan de contraste a la que yo publicare de Tel Aviv

¿you can't be serious? i frankly don't see how the hell you can compare these two cities. you can certainly try comparing tel aviv to a city in mexico, but not to its impossibly huge capital. i've been to both of these cities, tel aviv in 1993 and mexico city in 2007, and i just don't know how you're even going to grasp a topic to compare them with. this is like comparing portland oregon to sao paulo, sure they each have their charm, but there's no ****ing way you can seriously try to weigh the two against each other.

mexico city

Mexico City is the most important economic, industrial and cultural center in the country, and the most populous city with 8,720,916 inhabitants in 2005. Greater Mexico City (Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México) incorporates 58 adjacent municipalities of the State of Mexico and 1 municipality of the state of Hidalgo, according to the most recent definition agreed upon by the federal and state governments. In 2005 Greater Mexico City had a population of 19.2 million, making it the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere and the second largest in the world.

Mexico City is located in the Valley of Mexico also called the Valley of Anáhuac, a large valley in the high plateaus at the center of Mexico, at an altitude of 2,240 meters (7,349 feet). It was originally built by the Aztecs in 1325 on an island of Lake Texcoco. The city was almost completely destroyed in the siege of 1521, and was redesigned and rebuilt in the following years following the Spanish urban standards. In 1524 the municipality of Mexico City was established, known as México Tenochtitlán, and as of 1585 it is officially known as Ciudad de México.

Mexico City is one of the most important cultural centers in the world boasting more museums than any other city. It is also the fourth city in number of theaters after New York City, London and Toronto.

Having been capital of a vast pre-Hispanic empire, the richest viceroyalty within the Spanish Empire, and capital of the Mexican federation, Mexico City has a rich history of artistic expressions. Since the Mesoamerican pre-Classical period the inhabitants of the settlements around Lake Texcoco produced many works of arts, some of which are today displayed at the National Museum of Anthropology and the Templo Mayor Museum. While many pieces of pottery and stone-engraving have survived, the great majority of the Amerindian iconography was destroyed during the Conquest of Mexico.

The Historic Center (Centro Histórico), the University City and the "floating gardens" of Xochimilco in the southern borough have been declared World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO.

Mexico City is also one of the most important economic hubs of Latin America. The city proper (Federal District) produces 21.8% of the country's gross domestic product.[25] According to a study conducted by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Greater Mexico City (19.2 million people) had a GDP of $315 billion in 2005 (at purchasing power parity), ranking as the eighth-richest urban agglomeration in GDP in the world after the greater areas of Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Paris, London and Osaka/Kobe respectively and the richest in Latin America, in 2020 it will climb to the seventh-largest with a $608 billion placing Osaka/Kobe in the eighth position.[3][26] Mexico City alone would be the 30th largest economy in the world[27] with a higher GDP than whole countries like Sweden and Switzerland.

The country hosted the Football World Cup in 1970 and 1986 and Azteca is the only stadium in the world to host the final match of the Football World Cup twice. Mexico City also hosted the 1968 Olympic Games, winning bids against Buenos Aires, Lyon and Detroit, and being the only Latin American city to host such an event. Mexico City hosted the 1955 Pan American Games and then the 1975 Pan American Games after Santiago and São Paulo withdrew.
