To contain the flow of migrants, a new city named Cuatitl n Izcalli was started in the 1970s to the north of Mexico City to house 1,600,000 persons. There was also continued rehabilitation of older neighborhoods. The campus buildings are some of the most beautiful in the metropolitan area. Many of them are decorated with murals by Diego Rivera and other artists. There is also a National Polytechnic Institute.
Public libraries are generally inadequate because the city is served by many private libraries.
The city is a major publishing center for Latin America. There are more than 50 publishing firms and at least 1,000 bookstores. Besides the newspapers, there are many journals and specialized magazines. The city also has seven television channels and about 60 radio stations. Soccer is played at the Aztec Stadium, at a stadium located in Sports City, and at the university's Olympic Stadium.
