Mexico is so extensive with varying climates, geography and city layouts that the only general description would be that most cities have a central plaza or zocalo, around which you can find a church or cathedral as well as most of the government buildings. Layout is square for most of the downtown, while more modern parts of the city follow an organic pattern; cities with enough size and income can afford to have better infrastructure such as freeways, subways or other large-scale public transportation.
It is the political, cultural and economic capital of Mexico. One of the largest cities in the world in terms of population, it is inhabited by more than 21 million people (2012), highly-concentrated in an area roughly half the size of New York City. It is also a city with high contrasts, as you can find tall skyscrapers and huge McMansions not too far from decaying slums.

In general terms, the Gulf of Mexico is east of Mexico City. However, as the Gulf is a huge expanse of water, its bearing from Mexico City varies greatly. The northern Gulf of Mexico (around New Orleans) has a bearing from Mexico City of 40° northeast; the southern Gulf of Mexico (around the city of Coatzacoalcos, Mexico) is around 104° east-southeast from Mexico City.
You would usually have to ask on the PGJDF (Procuraduria General de Justicia del Distrito Federal - Attorney General of the Federal District, where Mexico City lies).See the related links section.
