Mexico’s sprawling cities are host to large populations with the potential to support and develop technology hubs. The Latin American powerhouse boasts an impressive number of cities with populations larger than 500,000 - and the IT sector should take note.

CityPopulation on the other hand lists 35 Mexican cities as housing over 500,000 people. Both studies indicate that Mexico is home to 10 cities that have over a million residents.
