Curious fact, the big earthquake you mentioned in 1985, happened on September 19th, the other quake you mentioned torre mayor survived on 2017 also happened on September 19th, and since then we have had an even bigger quake in 2022 also on September 19th. Sep 19, 1985 Magnitude 8.1 Sep 19, 2017 Magnitude 7.1 Sep 19, 2022 Magnitude 7.7
@@neoeseniosinvestigaciones what about all the times that it didn't happen? why are 3 events (out of 37) so meaningful? And if you go back to the conquista, what about the houndred of times that nothing happened?
@@larrote6467 because the 1985 is one of the country's greatest modern tragedies, the amount of death of destruction marked the capital and the rest of the country. Every year since it's remembered and a drill is performed as a reminder of the tragedy and to honor the life of the victims, and it just so happens that the 2017 and 2022 earthquakes occurred just a couple of hours after the drills were performed. So it's has become an unforgettable date because it continues to mark new generations. Also we Mexicans tend to be superstitious 😆

I hope you can mention or make a video in the next years about the Rise Tower in Monterrey, that will become the tallest building in Latin America with 456 meters / 1496.06 feet. Will be finished before the 2026 North America Mundial soccer.
@@JonMartinYXD That's about the same as Mexico's very first skyscraper, Torre Latinoamericana, and lower than the Chrysler building, not very egregious as far as vanity height goes, a far cry from the 30%-40% of the buildings that caused that term to be created.
There are one very dense area in México of buildings, is Interlomas, near to Mexico city and Santa Fe with another skyscraper cluster packed with nice builds
It was just a matter or time with the Boom Monterrey has been going through recently. Surely there will be a video about Rise Tower in the near future.
2:48 not only concrete is meant to be used for engineering purposes for example this tower is based on iron structure and it took around 3% of iron produce in the country. In the same avenue PASEO REFORMA the "torre reforma" won the first place for being the best skyscraper in the world in 2018 according to highrise awards, also in the same avenue the "torre Mayor" is being known for having the safest structure on a skyscraper in the world in 2003.
Nice to see other parts of the world. Would love a video on Santiago de Chile, home of the tallest skyscraper in Latin America (edit: South America) while being in one of the more sismic country of the world.
Actually Torre Top is the biggest skyscraper in Latin America and is located in Monterrey. Also soon that title will go to Rise also in Monterrey and will be at least 400m
@@linuxsisschannel8602 yeah, I didn't knew about the Torres obispado, is a 5 meter difference. Then the Gran torre Santiago is the tallest of South America
I have traveled to both Monterray and Chihuahua Mexico for business. Most Americans have no clue how tight the water supply is in both cities. In Chihuahua it is not uncommon for water to be cut off to your hotel room between 8 AM and 6 PM in the HEAT of the Summer. To discribe the climate of both cities in terms Americans and anyone who has travel to Phoenix AZ. Take the worse day in the Summer for Phoenix and that is a normal day in both cities. I have no idea how you pay for the Air Conditing in the Summer a high rise.
I've always wondered what your tires are made of as a lot of people in Phoenix shows tires literally melting due to the heat (?) never ever saw that happen to a single tire over here in Monterrey, still confused tho. As for the weather, Monterrey's weather is definitely not made for everyone, but I can tell you one thing, if my nordic Swedish bf could survive during summer, anyone can.
tall buildings are asking for trouble in earthquake prone zones, in my opinion. Given enough time and instances, I would bet those buildings will not be safe.
Tell that to Torre Latinoamericana, a 66 year old skyscraper that has survived 3 major earthquakes (1957, 1985, 2017) without damage. Also is the first high-rise built in a seismic zone.

Next question why is it so hard for basically all citys to plant some native trees for shade. Also why don't they use thirsty cement it doesn't use sand and you can make it just like Roman cement just missing the sand and tada just saved you sand and water. What water yes Roman cement uses sea water and volcanic rocks. Not like normal cement limestone sand iron and more oh ya needs fresh water. too.
Just bought a plot of land for myself and my girlfriend through your link, been wanting to do that for awhile, the added benefit of planting a tree is a nice touch! Cheers Lord Fred!

@@corvusglaive5769 Mexico City is the financial capital. Monterrey is the industrial capital, since almost all big industries are located there, it is also the second most populated city in the country, just after Mexico City and ahead of Guadalajara.
@@erickalcala5642 it also has some finances to it, Banorte the only remaining fully Mexican bank (not sold to other world banks) has head offices precisely at Torre Koi in Monterrey, seen in this very video
It is great there is more focus on Mexico...until @B1M decides to make a conspiracy video about it since they don't actually know anything about construction or engineering. See their terrible Denver airport video.
A video really centered in CDMX and Monterrey, because other cities in Mexico such as Guadalajara and Puebla for example deals with their construction projects too, not too mention that Acapulco is a city with a high amount of towers in a higher seismic activity area. Anyway it is impossible to cover a country in only 10 minutes.
they're located in the north, in Monterrey, we've one specially beautiful as a regia (native person from Monterrey), La Huasteca mountain is my favorite!
Yes, all those towers you saw in monterrey (the one with the mountains in the back are montérrey) 95% of those towers including the smaller ones in the back are not even 6 years old!!! including now there are so many towers popping up everywhere st the same time in monterrey !!
I'm 27 years old and have been online with broadband since I was 11... And I've never seen modern Mexico city. What incredible landscapes around the city. My idea of Mexico was sculpted by breaking bad and Ozark... Wow, I have learned something today.
I lived in Mexico for a year. It is a country of high contrast of glittering technology alongside bamboo huts. It’s a very big a very diverse country geographically. Desert, jungles, mountains, urban sprawl. Fantastic place.
I’m a civil engineer student here in Monterrey, they teach us how to solve each of this problems, I thought they were common problems to solve until I watched this video.
Some of these skyscrapers are truly gorgeous. Kudos to the Mexican architects and construction teams! Monterrey looks stunning, too. I'm gonna need to make a trip to Mexico to see some of these in person!
*Fourth tallest (1495 ft) compared to Central Park Tower in NYC (1550 ft) The One World Trade Center in NYC (1776 ft) and CN Tower in Toronto (1815 ft). It’ll be the Second tallest residential building in the Americas.
The camera work could have been better. Mexico City and Monterrey skylines look great from the right angles. These shoots made it seem like there is one or two tall buildings in the whole city.
I just don't understand why public transportation in Monterrey is so damn bad. It doesn't help that more than half of the car drivers don't have a license because enforcement for it is nonexistent.
@@JM-kv2kn it's because the government of Nuevo Leon hasn't focused their efforts on the development of alternative for massive transportation such as the Metrorrey system, that up until 2022 didn't get signs of new projects, now, while linea 4, 5 and 6 are in development, they won't be sufficient for our metropolitan area, we need to start developing metro lines that go outside to the outskirts of the metropolitan area, such as Cadereyta Jimenez, Pesqueria, Salinas Victoria, el Carmen, General Zuazua and Cienega de Flores, as well to develop a light train line that connects Tamaulipas and Coahuila thru Nuevo Leon, to incentivize the development and usage of trains to transport masses as well as commodities
@@Alberto_Lince_Gan well as a foreigner I don't see myself using such hypothetical system. It would benefit us tourists who drive south to Mexico to have at least decent roads to drive our cars with, and competent drivers who actually have a driver's license. Perhaps your idea would assist traffic but it wouldn't improve road conditions nor driver's road culture.
@@JM-kv2kn as a student of civil engineering, I can say to you that the quality of the roads, as well as the driver's culture would significantly improve if the access to more massive transportation methods will definitely make the roads with less traffic, and make the times for transportation shorter
By the way in Mexico City there is a financial district called Santa Fe where most of the skyscrapers (+150 m) of the city are located. It even looks like a Korean city!
If people don’t research or actually go to see it for themselves, they think it doesn’t exist. Bizarre, I agree. They’re like, “wow Mexico has actual buildings? Who would have thought?” 🤪
Flanking avenida Reforma is actually where most of the skyscrapers are, around 16 including under construction vs only 4 on Santa Fe. Santa Fe gets its dense look mostly from high rises below 140m.
In Sweden, where we actually have everything going for building high (No earthquakes, harsh winds etc), there's the issue of building costs. It's darn expensive to build high over here. Mostly because of all the regulations set by the "Boverket´s Building Regulations" (BBR) which dictates the minimum standards for indoor climate, sunlight, emergency exits aso. And don't get me wrong, it's a good thing that they do, we have a high standard of living, even in "cheaper" projects although it really sets developers back in the grand project ideas.
Do people want skyscrapers in Sweden? I’ve seen insane building projects going on over there that seem really cool but I know that many cities in Europe don’t really have a skyscraper-dominated skyline. Here in Mexico City a lot of people are seeking out high-rise apartments to live in so there’s a big demand
@@davidh9597 It's a skyscraper boom in Gothenburg, Sweden right now with Karlatornet as the tallest project, also the tallest building in the Nordics. Just check skyskrapercity if you want more info. The problem is our city have even deeper clay than Mexico City so they need to pillar the skyskrapers 60 meters down.
So, in conclusion, Mexican engineers are real badasses. Like their ancestors that built the best Pyramids and Colonial wonders, creating amazing skyscrapers adds to the history of amazing Mexican Engineering.
Monterrey Citizen here, thank you so much for covering my city, and indeed I can confirm the fact that we're having lots of problems with the most recent water shortage, but that hasn't stopped us from working so hard to get these buildings done, so much that we're about to set yet another record by building the tallest building in latin america called Rise Tower, right next to TOP 1 (Torres Obispado) and I can't wait for you to cover it!
I’ve been following B1M since 2018. Really love the work. I’m glad Monterrey finally appeared (where I live), it is the 2nd largest and most wealthy city in 🇲🇽 , 5.5 million people and industrial capital of the region. Many companies are rushing here from 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇳 thanks to the near-shoring issue. So I’m glad you finally spoke about this, hope it gets more recognition in the future. Btw, we are building a new tallest building here, 450 m tall. It’ll be completed in 2025.
@@Menstral if he comes from the usa, the gangs and mass shooters land, i think he hardly going to notice, i even promise you that he will find the lack of random violence better.
It think it is awesome that The B1M finally made a video about my country. Monterrey is an economic and industrial powerhouse with much more potential to be wealthier. I would not leave CDMX to move to Monterrey though because it has extreme weather and it is not nearly as walkable as my city. Very proud of our Monterrey nationals though!
Mexico is kind of fascinating in that it has European style built cities that are walkable and businesses close by but American style car obsession making it the only way to get around
This is just completely untrue, public transport in Mexico is way better than the US; Mexico City has a world class transit system and Guadalajara's is great too and expanding. Monterrey isn't as good due to US influence in planning but still much better than similarly sized cities in the US
@@Travelsandmore333 Actually there is a car obsession in middle class and upper class in Mexico just like in the US compared to Europe (yoo need to know and travel to Europe to know what im talking about, im from Mexico). Public transportation in Mexico is ages compared to Europe but its better than in the US.
Facts. These other guys are delusional. Only Mexico City has a respectable transport network. Guadalajara, Monterey has trains as well but it’s no where near adequate for a city that size. The good thing is that Mexican cities are generally walkable. It’s definitely true Mexicans love cars and car culture especially in the north. Not as much as the United States but definitely
@@millevenon5853 No relation. The US, for instance, has lots of skyscraoers and manages its land very badly. Skyscrapers are useless when surrounded by sprawling suburbs. Much better European-style compact cities, with no one of those two extremes.
Loved that you made a video on my home city Monterrey, although you should’ve looked into “Torre T.O.P” too, which is actually the tallest building not just in Mexico, but in latin america.
This is true because it's very difficult to build skyscrapers in Mexico 'cause a large part of the country is a seismic zone. However, in Monterrey they have been built very successfully because the subsoil is strong other cities like Guadalajara and Querétaro will also have skyscrapers in the near future.
I grew up in chile which is the most earthquake prone place on earth and while true skyscrapers are relatively rare high-rises in the 20 floors vicinity are everywhere and becoming the most common type of development in recent years. I think the economic and cultural elements combined with a relative abundance of buildable land are the key factors in Mexico.
And despite all of that many mexican cities aré experiencing a skyscraper ang highrise boom, there aré severall supertall towers planed for México city and right now there aré many skyscrapers under construction, Monterrey just started building its second supertall with 92 floors and in Tijuana there aré about 50 highrises in construction or planning state
1. Interesting looking skyline, building design wise. 2. The evaporation time lapse of that reservoir (8:41) is distressing to see. 3. Off topic. I know this is about construction, but seriously...lol, how in the hell is that taxi (6:43) going through that deep of water and not stalling out? My car engine wants to buck if it rains heavy, damn.
It would’ve been helpful if some comparisons were given to provide some perspective on these challenges. For example: Challenge #1 Earthquakes, are they similar or worse than California or Japan?
Earthquakes in Mexico City are far stronger than California’s. In fact when was the last time california had a major earthquake? Mexico City is constantly getting hit by earthquakes surpassing a magnitude 6. Also Torre Mayor is consider that strongest building in the world. I don’t know why he didn’t mention that.
Worse, specially in Mexico city, not only because the earthquake itself, but the real challenge is the soil, which amplifies the waves as it passes through the city
Absolutely love your channel (been subscribed for a while and recommend your videos to most people when discussing RU-vid creators). Really solid content here, so it hurts to see clickbait titles and minute long lead ups to topic reveal. Hoping things find their way back to being straightforward and direct.
Brisbane, Australia (2032 Olympics) has similar soil issues with some buildings having 9+ basement levels to help reach bedrock. Brisbane also has a building height limit of 274m so basement parking levels help maximise floor space.
