ABSTRACT
The Mexico City building code is the product of many improvements made over the years due to tragedy and research. The current construction code is subject to stricter architecture and engineering requirements related to building and systems design due to groundwater extraction, flooding, land subsidence, and the earthquake risk with their potential effects on those components. The paper summarizes Mexico City's building code for tall buildings. Its purpose is to highlight the contributions made to the architectural, structural, geotechnical, and seismic regulations for tall buildings.
