Sydney, centrally located on the eastern coast, is Australia’s largest and most influential city. Its multicultural nature, advanced infrastructure, state of the art technologies, scale of foreign investment and architectural ingenuity not only make for a highly desired international tourist destination but are all compelling evidence to suggest that Sydney is in fact an established city of the developed world. As in any developed city, there are a myriad of urban dynamics of change at work that have, and will continue to evolve the morphology of the Australian metropolis.
Do you ever feel as though you were robbed? Well, that's how the Mexicans felt when Texas was annexed to the US. Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1936. With that, Texas created a border for Mexico to cross, but Mexico was uninformed. So when they crossed the supposed border, the US was furious and so they went and stood at the border.
The Mexico City Policy, also known by opponents as “The Global Gag Rule”, was originally introduced as an executive order by president Ronald Reagan in 1984. The policy was made to withhold U.S. family planning, funding and assistance from foreign NGOs (non-profits) that include reproductive health organizations and included private hospitals and clinics that perform or publicize abortions. “In countries where abortion is permitted, the policy prohibits health workers at NGOs that receive U.S. funding from offering abortion as an option or referring women to a provider” (PAI).

University of California-Berkley geographer and author Michael Johns argues in his novel, The City of Mexico in the Age of Diaz, that the central Zocalo of Mexico City does more than geographically segregate the East from the West, but Mexico's national mentality as well. During the years of Diaz's democratic façade, the upper classes thrived upon plantation exports, feudalist economics and the iron fist of Diaz's rurales while struggling to maintain European social likeness. East of the Zocalo, shantytowns housed thousands of poor pelados that served as societal blemishes of a suburbanite's experience. In Johns's work, the penniless and indigenous serve as the scapegoats for the priviledged and their obsession with

When they got to the city, many of the good paying jobs were taken and the people moving in were left with bad paying jobs. In the 1970s-1980s, one thousand
Mexico City is one of the largest cities by population. It’s in a highland basin called the Valley of Mexico, the valley sits at about 7,000 ft above sea level. The first people to arrive at the Valley of Mexico showed up a couple thousand years ago, back then the valley had a very large amount of big shallow lakes covering its floor. One of the first groups to settle on the islands were known as Aztecs, who live on an island in Lake Texcoco which later became Tenochtitlán. By 1519 when the Spanish arrived Tenochtitlán was one of the biggest cities in the world with a population of more than 200,000 people.

In Mexico during the 1990’s, the EZLN, a guerilla army named after Emiliano Zapata, was formed led by a man called Subcomandante Marcos. Their goal was to gain independence for indigenous communities, land reform, economic solutions, and an end to the PRI’s political control of Mexico. The new generation of Zapatistas chose to rebel and do the opposite of assimilate in the face of a government with no concern for indigenous people like them. Meanwhile, our protagonist took to the city, not to protest, but in order to have a better life. Her mind has been molded by western society’s definition of progress, telling her urbanization is the way to go. Like the Zapatistas, she wanted a better life but ultimately was forced to assimilate when confronted
Like an enormous living museum, Mexico City provides an extraordinary showplace for the thousands of years of human cultural achievement that Mexico has attained. It ranks as one of the world's great capitals and is a must for anyone craving to understand Mexico's complex past, its fast-paced present, and its ever challenging future. The size and grandeur of the city are staggering.

Before we look at present day Mexico City, let us look into it deep and storied past.
Mexico City alone has a population of over 9 million people. It is the second-largest and most rapidly growing metropolitan area in the world. Mexico City has been, since 1325, a thriving city with pyramids, houses, and temples. In other words, it has existed in a civilized state long before the United States even came into existence! In 1620, when the pilgrims first landed at Plymouth Rock, Mexico City was a thriving center with over 100 million inhabitants.
