Economic prosperity would be the most important driving factor. For example, Mexico's income per capita is around US$15,600 in 2012, while Mexico City's income per capita is a whooping US$46,440, on par to Switzerland (US$46,200) or Canada (US$43,400).

Mexico City. :)
In Mexico? Because it is the largest city in that country and third largest in the world (21.16 million)
The city had a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of US$390 billion in 2008, making Mexico City the eighth richest city in the world in terms of volume.
The strategically important highland location along the St. Lawrence River was a locational advantage that contributed to the founding and economic growth of Quebec City. Quebec City is located where the width of the St. Lawrence River changes. An enlarged estuary from the Atlantic Ocean, it becomes a narrower river at the same place where its northern banks are relatively high in elevation. From a military point of view, this site was important. The French built a fort here so that their guns and cannons could control movement up the St. Lawrence River. The French therefore dominated travel from the Atlantic to the interior of North America. The fort attracted settlers and businesses, which, in turn, attracted more settlers and businesses, forming a town, which later grew into a city. Nowadays, the strategic importance is no longer important. However, the city of Quebec remains an important city because of the economic relations that have developed as the number of residents and businesses of the city have grown.

No. This has resulted in an organic, haphazard growth, with all the problems associated with it.
Population by itself is not an issue. Overcrowding and disorganized population growth without enough economic growth IS the issue. One of the areas most affected by this issue is the Valley of Mexico, where greater Mexico City is located.
The Mexico City Valley is part of the Central Mexican Plateau, a region with temperate climate and rich volcanic soil -- unlike the arid deserts to the north and the suffocating jungles to the south. Since several thousand years ago, this combination of climate and fertile soil has allowed better agricultural yields and in turn, greater population densities. Nowadays, Mexico City is extremely big due to an over-centralization of political and economic power, and more social openness (for example, same-sex marriage in Mexico was first approved in Mexico City on 2009) since colonial times. These factors have contributed to increased immigration from other areas of the country.
Urban sprawl began in the 20th century in the United States, with the expansion of cities and suburbs as population growth outpaced city planning. Factors such as the availability of automobiles, cheap land on city outskirts, and government policies promoting suburban development contributed to the phenomenon.
Exactly that; many displaced farmers who don't earn enough to sustain their families migrate to Mexico City in search of a better future.

Two key site factors of New York City are its natural harbor and its strategic location. The deep harbor allows for easy access for shipping and trade, facilitating economic growth. Additionally, its location at the mouth of the Hudson River provides connectivity to inland regions, making it a crucial hub for transportation and commerce. These factors have historically contributed to the city's development as a major financial and cultural center.
It has a very large population.
The Aztecs' first city was Tenochtitlán, which they founded in 1325. Located on an island in Lake Texcoco in present-day Mexico City, it became the capital of the Aztec Empire. Tenochtitlán was known for its impressive architecture, complex social structure, and extensive trade networks. Its strategic location and innovative agricultural practices, like chinampas, contributed to its growth and prosperity.
