(Centro Histórico), lying in the very heart of the city, the location of many important historic buildings, including the [Palacio Nacional de la Cultura](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Palace_%28Guatemala%29) (National Palace of Culture), the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Congress, the [Casa Presidencial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Presidencial_%28Guatemala%29) (Presidential House), the National Library, and Plaza de la Constitución (Constitution Plaza, old Central Park).[64](../../64/ "tree and pragmatics") Efforts to revitalize this important part of the city have been undertaken by the municipal government.[65](../../65/ "tree and pragmatics") Beside the parks, the city offers a portfolio of entertainment in the region, focused on the so-called Zona Viva and the Calzada Roosevelt, as well as [Cuatro Grados Norte](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuatro_Grados_Norte).[66](../../66/ "tree and pragmatics") Casino activity is considerable, with several located in different parts of the Zona Viva.[67](../../67/ "tree and pragmatics") The area around the East market is being redeveloped.[68](../../68/ "tree and pragmatics") Within the financial district are the tallest buildings in the country, including: [Club Premier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torre_Premier_Club), Tinttorento, Atlantis building, [Atrium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrium_Building_%28Guatemala%29), [Tikal Futura](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikal_Futura), Building of Finances, Towers Building Batteries, Torres Botticelli, Tadeus, building of the INTECAP, Royal Towers, Towers Geminis, Industrial Bank towers, Holiday Inn Hotel, Premier of the Americas, among many others to be used for offices, apartments, etc. Also included are projects such as Zona Pradera and Interamerica's World Financial Center.[69](../../69/ "tree and pragmatics") One of the most outstanding mayors was the engineer Martin Prado Vélez, who took over in 1949, and ruled the city during the reformist presidents [Juan José Arévalo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_José_Arévalo) and [Jacobo Arbenz Guzman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobo_Arbenz_Guzman), although he was not a member of the ruling party at the time and was elected due his well-known capabilities.[70](../../70/ "tree and pragmatics") Of cobanero origin, married with Marta Cobos, he studied at the [University of San Carlos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universidad_de_San_Carlos_de_Guatemala); under his tenure, among other modernist works of the city, infrastructure projects included El Incienso bridge, the construction of the Roosevelt Avenue, the main road axis from East to West of the city, the town hall building, and numerous road works which meant the widening of the colonial city, its order in the cardinal points and the generation of a ring road with the first cloverleaf interchange in the city.[\[21\]](../../page/3/#ref-21 "note 21")[71](../../71/ "tree and pragmatics") In an attempt to control the rapid growth of the city, the municipal government (Municipalidad de Guatemala), headed by longtime Mayor [Álvaro Arzú](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Álvaro_Arzú), has implemented a plan to focus growth along important arterial roads and apply [Transit-oriented development](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit-oriented_development) (TOD) characteristics.[72](../../72/ "tree and pragmatics") This plan, denominated POT (Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial), aims to allow taller building structures of mixed uses to be built next to large arterial roads, and gradually decline in height and density moving away from such.[73](../../73/ "tree and pragmatics") It is also worth mentioning, that due to the airport being in the south of the city, height limits based on aeronautical considerations have been applied to the construction code.[74](../../74/ "tree and pragmatics") This limits the maximum height for a building, at 60 m in Zone 10, up to 95 m in Zone 1.[\[19\]](../../page/3/#ref-19 "note 19")[75](../../75/ "tree and pragmatics") ## Climate As it is in the [tropics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropics), Guatemala City has a [tropical savannah climate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_savannah_climate) ([Köppen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köppen_climate_classification) Aw) bordering on a more temperate [humid subtropical climate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid_subtropical_climate) (Cwa/Cwb) due to its relatively high altitude.[\[7\]](../../page/3/#ref-7 "note 7")[76](../../76/ "tree and pragmatics") Guatemala City is generally very warm, almost springlike, throughout the year.[77](../../77/ "tree and pragmatics") It occasionally gets hot during the dry season, although not as hot and humid as other cities in Central America at sea level.[78](../../78/ "tree and pragmatics") The hottest month is April.[79](../../79/ "tree and pragmatics") The rainy season extends from May to October, coinciding with the tropical storm and hurricane season in the western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, while the dry season extends from November to April.[80](../../80/ "tree and pragmatics") The city can at times be windy, which also leads to lower [ambient temperatures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_temperature).[81](../../81/ "tree and pragmatics") The city's average annual temperature ranges are 22–28 C during the day and 12–17 C at night; its average [relative humidity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_humidity) is 82% in the morning and 58% in the evening; and its average [dew point](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point) is 16 C.[\[22\]](../../page/3/#ref-22 "note 22")[82](../../82/ "tree and pragmatics") ### Volcanic activity Four [stratovolcanoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratovolcanoes) are visible from the city, two of them active.[83](../../83/ "tree and pragmatics") The nearest and most active is [Pacaya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacaya), which at times erupts a considerable amount of ash.[\[23\]](../../page/3/#ref-23 "note 23")[84](../../84/ "tree and pragmatics") These volcanoes lie to the south of the Valle de la Ermita, providing a natural barrier between Guatemala City and the Pacific lowlands that define the southern regions of Guatemala.[85](../../85/ "tree and pragmatics") [Agua](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcán_de_Agua), [Fuego](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcán_de_Fuego), [Pacaya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacaya), and [Acatenango](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acatenango) comprise a line of 33 stratovolcanoes that stretches across the breadth of Guatemala, from the Salvadorian border to the Mexican border.[86](../../86/ "tree and pragmatics") ### Earthquakes See also: [1902 Guatemala earthquake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1902_Guatemala_earthquake), [1917 Guatemala earthquake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_Guatemala_earthquake), [1976 Guatemala earthquake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Guatemala_earthquake) Lying on the [Ring of Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Fire), the Guatemalan highlands and the Valle de la Ermita are frequently shaken by large earthquakes.[87](../../87/ "tree and pragmatics") The last large tremor to hit the Guatemala City region occurred in the 1976, on the [Motagua Fault](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motagua_Fault), a left-lateral [strike-slip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_%28geology%29#Strike-slip_faults) fault that forms the boundary between the [Caribbean Plate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Plate) and the [North American Plate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Plate).[88](../../88/ "tree and pragmatics") The [1976 event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Guatemala_earthquake) registered 7.5 on the [moment magnitude scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale).[89](../../89/ "tree and pragmatics") Smaller, less severe tremors are frequently felt in Guatemala City and environs.[90](../../90/ "tree and pragmatics") ### Mudslides Torrential downpours, similar to the more famous monsoons, occur frequently in the Valle de la Ermita during the rainy season, leading to flash floods that sometimes inundate the city.[91](../../91/ "tree and pragmatics") Due to these heavy rainfalls, some of the slums perched on the steep edges of the canyons that criss-cross the Valle de la Ermita are washed away and buried under mudslides, as in October 2005.[\[24\]](../../page/3/#ref-24 "note 24")[92](../../92/ "tree and pragmatics") Tropical waves, tropical storms and hurricanes sometimes strike the Guatemalan highlands, which also bring torrential rains to the Guatemala City region and trigger these deadly mudslides.[93](../../93/ "tree and pragmatics") ### Piping pseudokarst In February [2007, a very large, deep circular hole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Guatemala_City_sinkhole) with vertical walls opened in northeastern Guatemala City (14°39′2″N 90°29′25″W), killing five people.[94](../../94/ "tree and pragmatics") This sinkhole, which is classified by geologists as either a "[piping feature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_feature)" or "[piping pseudokarst](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_pseudokarst)", was 100 m deep, and apparently was created by fluid from a [sewer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_sewer) eroding the loose [volcanic ash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_ash), [limestone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limestone), and other [pyroclastic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroclastic_rock) deposits that underlie Guatemala City.[\[25\]](../../page/3/#ref-25 "note 25")[\[26\]](../../page/3/#ref-26 "note 26")[95](../../95/ "tree and pragmatics") As a result, one thousand people were evacuated from the area.[\[27\]](../../page/3/#ref-27 "note 27")[96](../../96/ "tree and pragmatics") This piping feature has since been mitigated by City Hall by providing proper maintenance to the [sewerage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewerage) collection system,[\[28\]](../../page/3/#ref-28 "note 28") and plans to develop the site have been proposed.[97](../../97/ "tree and pragmatics") However, critics believe municipal authorities have neglected needed maintenance on the city's aging sewerage system, and have speculated that more dangerous piping features are likely to develop unless action is taken.[\[29\]](../../page/3/#ref-29 "note 29")[98](../../98/ "tree and pragmatics") Three years later, the [2010 Guatemala City sinkhole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Guatemala_City_sinkhole) arose. [\[32\]](../../page/3/#ref-32 "note 32")[99](../../99/ "tree and pragmatics") ## Demographics It is estimated that the population of Guatemala City urban area is about 3 million.[\[33\]](../../page/3/#ref-33 "note 33")[\[34\]](../../page/3/#ref-34 "note 34")[\[35\]](../../page/3/#ref-35 "note 35")[100](../../100/ "tree and pragmatics") The growth of the city's population has been robust, abetted by the mass migration of Guatemalans from the rural hinterlands to the largest and most vibrant regional economy in Guatemala.[\[36\]](../../page/3/#ref-36 "note 36")[101](../../101/ "tree and pragmatics") Among inhabitants of Guatemala City, those of Spanish and [Mestizo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mestizo) descent are the most numerous.[\[36\]](../../page/3/#ref-36 "note 36")[102](../../102/ "tree and pragmatics") Guatemala City also has sizable indigenous populations, divided among the 23 distinct Mayan groups present in Guatemala.[103](../../103/ "tree and pragmatics") The numerous Mayan languages are now spoken in certain quarters of Guatemala City, making the city a linguistically rich area.[104](../../104/ "tree and pragmatics") Foreigners and foreign immigrants comprise the final distinct group of Guatemala City inhabitants, representing a very small minority among the city's denizens.[\[36\]](../../page/3/#ref-36 "note 36")[105](../../105/ "tree and pragmatics") Due to mass migration from impoverished rural districts wracked with political instability, Guatemala City's population has exploded since the 1970s, severely straining the existing bureaucratic and physical infrastructure of the city.[106](../../106/ "tree and pragmatics") As a result, chronic traffic congestion, shortages of safe potable water in some areas of the city, and a sudden and prolonged surge in crime have become perennial problems.[107](../../107/ "tree and pragmatics") The infrastructure, although continuing to grow and improve in some areas,[\[37\]](../../page/3/#ref-37 "note 37") is lagging in relation to the increasing population of rural migrants, who tend to be poorer.[\[38\]](../../page/3/#ref-38 "note 38")[108](../../108/ "tree and pragmatics") ## Communications Guatemala City is headquarters to many communications and telecom companies, among them Tigo, Claro-Telgua, and Movistar-Telefónica.[109](../../109/ "tree and pragmatics") These companies also offer cable television, internet services and telephone access.[110](../../110/ "tree and pragmatics") Due to Guatemala City's large and concentrated consumer base in comparison to the rest of the country, these telecom and communications companies provide most of their services and offerings within the confines of the city.[111](../../111/ "tree and pragmatics") There are also seven local television channels, in addition to numerous international channels.[112](../../112/ "tree and pragmatics") The international channels range from children's programming, like [Nickelodeon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_%28Latin_America%29) and the [Disney Channel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Channel_%28Latin_America%29), to more adult offerings, such as [E!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E!) and [HBO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBO_%28international%29#Latin_America).[113](../../113/ "tree and pragmatics") While international programming is dominated by entertainment from the United States, domestic programming is dominated by shows from Mexico.[114](../../114/ "tree and pragmatics") Due to its small and relatively income-restricted domestic market, Guatemala City produces very little in the way of its own programming outside of local news and sports.[115](../../115/ "tree and pragmatics") ## Economy and finance Guatemala City, as the capital, is home to Guatemala's central bank, from which Guatemala's monetary and fiscal policies are formulated and promulgated.[116](../../116/ "tree and pragmatics") Guatemala City is also headquarters to numerous regional private banks, among them CitiBank, Banco Agromercantil, Banco Promerica, Banco Industrial, Banco GyT Continental, Banco de Antigua, Banco Reformador, Banrural, Grupo Financiero de Occidente, BAC Credomatic, and Banco Internacional.[117](../../117/ "tree and pragmatics") ## Places of interest by zones Guatemala City is divided into 22 zones in accordance with the urban layout plan designed by [Raúl Aguilar Batres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raúl_Aguilar_Batres).[118](../../118/ "tree and pragmatics") Each zone has its own streets and avenues, facilitating navigation within the city.[119](../../119/ "tree and pragmatics") Zones are numbered 1 through 25.[120](../../120/ "tree and pragmatics") However, numbers 20, 22 and 23 have not been designated to zones, thus these zones do not exist within the city proper.[\[19\]](../../page/3/#ref-19 "note 19")[121](../../121/ "tree and pragmatics") - Zone;
