Beginning in the sixteenth century, many of these problems ...
By the end of the early modern era, significant changes had taken place in European urban life, yet the elements of continuity were still preponderant.

At the time of Spanish conquests, Mexico City comprised both Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco.
