description | In a short space of time, the city of Tenochtitlan became the capital of an empire and one of the largest cities in the world at the time. This created an urban complexity in which supplies played a key role, especially as it was located in the middle of a lagoon.

To achieve this, it used most of the pre-existing networks and incorporated the relevant innovations to meet the new demands. |
