Resumen:

In this paper, updated information about regional subsidence in Mexico City downtown area is presented, based on data obtained by R. Gayol in 1891, on information obtained from surveys using the reference points of ``Sistema de Aguas de la Ciudad de Mexico'' and on the position of a cloud of points on the ground surface determined using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology. In addition, this paper provides an overview of recent data obtained from systematic studies focused on understanding soil fracturing associated to regional land subsidence in Mexico City Valley.
