![City of Acapulco, México][1](Picture labeled for reuse lincense) Invisible Information: 1) Acapulco, is a famous touristic city, but the residents almost dont get any benefit from that. The created wealth in the city didn't improve life conditions. In this picture is visible adequate infrastructure, and streets with green areas, but as you go away from the touristic zone, you will find another reality completely different. An on the other side of the hills, you can find some of the most extreme conditions of poverty in Mexico. 2) Acapulco has become one of the most violent cities in Mexico, and maybe in the world. Economic inequiality, and the lack of opportunities are some factors that contributed on that. Acapulco is a city specialized only on tourism, the high added value industries like creative, entertainment, and science and technology research are inexisted since the foundation of the city. Infrastructure in the neighborhoods of locals is in bad conditions, there are no public parks or leisure places for this people, and this kind of factors aggravates the violence and inequality.
