Mexico Ceety (Spainyie: Ciudad de México) is the caipital an lairgest ceety in Mexico as well as the lairgest ceety in North Americae an ane o the lairgest ceeties in the warld. Mexico Ceety is the Federal Destrict (Distrito Federal) an aw, seat o the federal govrenment, a federal entity athin Mexico which is no pairt o ony ane o the 31 Mexican states but belangs tae the federation as a whole. Mexico Ceety is the maist important poleetical, cultural, an financial centre in the kintra.

As an "alpha" global ceety, Mexico Ceety is ane o the maist important financial centers in Americae which is locatit in the Glen o Mexico, a lairge glen in the heich plateaus at the center o Mexico, at an altitude o 2,240 metres (7,350 ft). The ceety consists o saxteen burghs.

The 2009 estimatit population for the ceety proper wis aroond 8.84 million fowk, an haes a land aurie o 1,485 square kilometres (573 sq mi). Accordin tae the maist recent definition agreed upon bi the federal an state govrenments, the Mexico Ceety metropolitan aurie population is 21.2 million fowk makkin it the lairgest metropolitan aurie in the Americaes an the third lairgest agglomeration in the warld.

Mexico Ceety haes a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) o $390 billion USD in 2008, makin Mexico Ceety the aicht richest ceety in the warld. The ceety wis responsible for generatin 21% o Mexico's Gross Domestic Product an the metropolitan aurie accoontit for 34% o total naitional GDP. As o 2008, the ceety proper, as opposed tae the metropolitan aurie, haed a nominal income per caipita o $25,258 USD, on par wi the GDP per capita o Portugal, an significantly abuin naitions such as the Czech Republic.

The ceety wis oreeginally built on an island o Lake Texcoco bi the Aztecs in 1325 as Tenochtitlan, which wis amaist completely destroyed in the siege o 1521, an subsequently redesigned an rebuilt in accordance wi the Spainyie urban staundarts. In 1524, the municipality o Mexico Ceety wis established, kent as México Tenustitlán, an as o 1585 it wis offeecially kent as La Ciudad de México (Mexico Ceety). Mexico Ceety served as the poleetical, admeenistrative an financial centre o a major pairt o the Spainyie colonial empire. Efter unthirldom frae Spain wis achieved, the Federal Destrict wis creatit in 1824.

Efter years o demandin greater poleetical autonomy, residents war given the richt tae directly elect the Heid o Govrenment an the representatives o the unicameral Legislative Assembly bi popular vote in 1997. Iver syne, the left-wing Pairty o the Democratic Revolution (PRD) haes controlled baith o them. In recent years, the local govrenment haes passed a wave o leeberal policies, such as abortion on request tae ony woman up to 12 weeks intae a pregnancy.
