What does Mexico buildings look like?

Answer 1

Mexico is a land of great contrasts, with regions having a quality of live comparable to Norway, as opposed to regions with income, education and life expectancy equivalent to that of the least developed parts of the Third World. As such, Mexican housing widely varies upon two things: climate and cost.

The destitute usually live on small cardboard shacks, in irregular settlements known as lost cities (Spanish: ciudades perdidas). These lack basic utility services, including electricity, running water and sewage, and are located on the outskirts of larger cities.

For low to middle class housing, palm shacks are found along the coast, adobe houses on desert climates or wood cabins in temperate climates; large prefab housing projects and single-family dwellings made of filler block are also common in major cities.

Medium income families can afford brick houses with a small backyard and sometimes, a front garage or lawn; in larger towns and cities, apartment buildings and condominiums are common, but most buildings have 5 stories or less.

Upper-class people in Mexico usually buy large departments and lofts (up to 2,000 sq ft) in tall apartment buildings (up to 15 stories high), or large housesin the suburbs with garage space for 2-3 vehicles and a backyard; some of these developments also have a swimming pool.

Mexico's top 1% has huge McMansions or departments in large residential projects and horizontal condos with spa and Golf club. These are of course, within enclosed communities and are valued in millions of dollars -- and paid in American currency as well.

Answer 2

Mexico is a country with many contrasts and architectural styles. You can find ugly industrial boomtowns with shacks made of filler block, as well as cities with baroque or "colonial architecture" and modern skyscrapers made of glass and steel.
