La capitale mexicaine Mexico est au bord de l'asphyxie
Située sur une lagune asséchée, dans une zone sismique, à 2200 mètres d’altitude, la ville de Mexico souffre d'une croissance urbaine démesurée: elle frôle les 22 millions d’habitants. Les autorités ont décidé de prendre des mesures, notamment en détruisant les habitations illégales, et en trouvant des astuces pour lutter contre la pénurie d'eau. Par le correspondant de RTSinfo au Mexique, Patrice Gouy.

![A telephone booth named "SOS telephone of life" and a message are seen on the railing on the Mapo Bridge, one of 25 bridges over the River Han in Seoul in this September 28, 2012 picture. The message reads,"Once, Please try it" and it is one of messages which were chosen by psychiatrists and are aimed at reducing tension and even getting people to relax with humour. South Korea aims to promote a message of life and hope at the bridge that has the unenviable reputation as the favourite place for people wanting to commit suicide.
