Resumen:

Updated information concerning land subsidence and associated soil fracturing in Mexico City is presented. Subsidence was estimated from the evolution of the elevations of 2064 benchmarks and other references located in former Texcoco Lake. Geodesic and topographic surveys carried out in the middle of the XIXth century proved to constitute an excellent initial reference for subsequent measurements of land subsidence. Extensive use was made of new geocomputing tools to process these data. Results of surveys of soil fracturing associated to subsidence are also presented and discussed.
