CANDIDATE CITY

MEXICO CITY - History that bridges the Americas

Mexico City is a fascinating capital that beguiles its visitors with endless options. One of the largest metropolitan

areas in the world, with 16 boroughs and more than 300 neighborhoods.

The origins of Mexico City date back to 1325, when the Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlan was founded and later

destroyed in 1521 by Spanish conqueror Hernan Cortes. The city served as the capital of the Vice-royalty of New

Spain until the outbreak of the Independence War in 1810. The city became the capital of the Mexican Empire in

1821 and of the Mexican Republic in 1823 after the abdication of Agustin de Iturbide. During the Mexico-US war in

1847, the city was invaded by the American army. In 1864 the French invaded Mexico and the emperor Ferdinand

Maximilian of Hapsburg ruled the country from the Castillo de Chapultepec and ordered to build Avenue of the

Empress (today's Paseo de la Reforma promenade).

Porfirio Díaz assumed power in 1876 and left an outstanding mark in the city with many European styled buildings

such as the Palacio de Bellas Artes and the Palacio Postal. Diaz was overthrown in 1910 with the Mexican Revolution

and this marked a radical change in the city's architecture. The 20th century saw the uncontrolled growth of the

City beyond the Centro Historico with the influx of thousands of immigrants from the rest of the country. In 1968,

the city was host to the Olympic Games, which saw the construction of the Azteca Stadium, the Palacio de los

Deportes, the Olympic Stadium and other sports facilities.


SIZE

The Mexico City region covers approximately 1,485 sq km.

It is Mexico’s largest city as well as its most important

Political, cultural, educational and financil center.

is provided by major highways with dedicated entry and

exit ramps. The airport road system is integrated into

the regional transportation system. A new International

Airport was announced this year, and will be completed

In 2022 in time for the 2023 Games. The Airport connects

PAN AM ATHLETES VILLAGE

The site of the Pan American Village is uniquely positioned to

accommodate both the needs of the Mexico City Pan American

Games and the vision for a powerful post-Games legacy. Located

in the city Olympic Park district – just east of downtown, within

25 minutes of most Games venues and less than 25 minutes from

the airport – the Pan American Village will be one of the jewels

of the Mexico City 2023 Games legacy. Over the past several years,

the site of the Village has been the subject of extensive visioning and

planning work, the result of which is an award-winning plan for

redevelopment that is flexible, sustainable and integrated into the

fabric of the city. It will result in a vibrant new showcase neighbourhood

that will knit into the surrounding urban communities and become a

model for urban revitalization and sustainability. Construction of

supporting infrastructure and the acquisition of planning approvals are

already well underway, ensuring that the Mexico City 2023 Pan American

Village will meet the strict timelines demanded by the Games. The 80-acre

provincially-owned site will accommodate a flexible mix of housing, office

space, retail/restaurants and staging areas, all just a few minutes’ walk to

the parks venues. The Pan American Village, which will incorporate an

18-acre park, will be immediately adjacent to the Pan American Park.

The residences will incorporate a mix of housing types from townhouses

to mid-rise buildings and towers. At the heart of the Pan American Village,

a wide boulevard/piazza will function as the natural gathering place for events

and social activity.

including obtaining planning approvals, infrastructure construction and

public realm design, helps ensure that the Pan American Village will be

ready for the Games. Operational planning and infrastructure construction

are already progressing, thus enhancing Village construction readiness.

The transport mall will be the hub of all dedicated transportation to,

from and within the Pan American Village. Like the entire Village, the

choose. From the luxurious and exclusive to the charming and affordable,

Mexico City’s accommodations are sure to suit every taste and budget.

Guests will be able to select from a wide range of service levels and

locations with multiple options within easy reach of all Games venues.

To keep the cost of accommodation in line with normal market forces

during the Games, Mexico City hotels have agreed to set 2023 Games-time

rates within an upper limit calculated by using a baseline of 2013 room rates,

increased annually by an inflation rate of no more than 3%. This will ensure

that there is no sudden inflation of accommodation costs for the Games period.

With over 55,000 guestrooms in the Mexico City region and approximately 235

hotels and residences, the Mexico City region’s thriving hospitality industry has

the capacity to host 40 million guests a year based on double occupancy.

Hotels within Mexico City itself have committed 22,971 rooms per night for the

peak Games period in 2023. Finding a hotel room will not be a challenge for

visitors and neither will finding the desired style of accommodation.

Between 2015 and 2023 hotel construction will increase the guest room inventory

to meet the needs of Mexico City’s growing tourism sector. The incentive of

the 2023 Pan American Games will only enhance that growth. Current projections

anticipate that the new hotels will provide an additional 2500 available rooms,

primarily three, four and five star categories.


TRANSPORTATION The Mexico City metro is the second largest metro system in

North America and served 1.69 billion people in 2012. In 2023

the Metro System will link up with other transport methods in

the city to ensure a safe, reliable, clean and punctual transport

system to transport athletes, spectators and officials to venues. Dedicated cars and drivers will be provided to the PASO President

and Executive committee members, IOC members, and ISF Presidents.

Additionally, each NOC President and each Secretary General will be

allocated a dedicated car and driver, irrespective of team size, for the

duration of the Games to provide maximum flexibility for their respective

schedules.

The Mexico City 2023 Pan Am Transport plan includes:

Dedicated Games lanes on city motorways and streets.

Building of a new International Airport completed 2022

Upgrade of bus transit fleet to include new modern models

New cycle ways and walking lanes throughout the city

Refurbishment of major Metro stations and trains

New Metro station at Pan Am Park

The Mexico City region features several transit operators that provide

local and rapid inter – regional services. The city itself has an extensive

road network that provides for a high level of transit and the city is

very familiar with the special operations and protocols which are required

to support major events.

In keeping with the social and environmental goals of Mexico City 2023,

self propelled transportation will be an important component of the games

transportation plans. All sports venues will feature bicycle rack areas and

rental bicycles to encourage spectators to pedal to the venues and sports.
