Many poor people in Mexico City survive by finding whatever odd jobs they can, sometimes resorting to illegal activities. Other more ingenious people run small businesses.
Mexico city
On the suburbs. The metropolitan area of Mexico city is home to some 8.8 million inhabitants while the rest (some 12.3 million) live on the outskirts of the city, including upscale suburbs as well as poor, crime-ridden ciudades perdidas or shantytowns.
Tenment people lived and the are poor and morden
There is not much grass so they are poor
rural is when you move to a city. that answer is bull- life there is full of poverty (poor people with out homes)
Those who were poor could not afford to live within the city walls. It cost a lot of money to build new city walls, so if there were housing difficulties, the poor were pushed outside.
The same way they do now. The poor cursed the rich and the rich cursed the poor.
Slums
No. The Federal District (where Mexico City resides) has a GDP per capita of US$23,130 on par to Portugal or The Bahamas.
The posh people live in city and have lots of money their life's are great and village life is not cause they are poor.
Mexico is a country of great contrasts. Only in Mexico City you can find such disparity, often mere steps away. Rich people in Mexico City enjoy the education, income and health of Western Europe (e.g. Norway) as oposed to people in the poorer neighbors or ciudades perdidas where you will find a quality of life equivalent to that of say, India or Syria.For example, the municipality of Ecatzingo in greater Mexico City, has a GDP per capita of around USD 3,608 (2005) equivalent to that of Indonesia. It is a humble, semi-rural area, but not as poor-sticken as other parts of the city.On the other hand, the Benito Juarez borough in the middle of Mexico City has a GDP per capita of around USD 27,824 (again, 2005) which is very close to that of Singapore or Gibraltar in Europe.See the related links section for additional images of rich vs. poor in Mexico City.
Metlatonoc (17° 12' N, 98° 24' W) in the southern state of Guerrero, is the poorest city in Mexico, with the same life quality of Malawi (a poor, hunger-striken African nation).
