Tláhuac is one of the sixteen boroughs (demarcación territorial) of Mexico City, located at the southeastern edge of the metropolitan area. Though Tláhuac still contains rural communities within its borders, mostly in the southern and eastern portions, the borough has undergone massive urbanization in the 20th century, especially in the northwest. Tláhuac has experienced the fastest rate of population growth in Mexico City since the 1960s.
Much of the borough's area is former lakebed where Lake Chalco and Lake Xochimilco met, with the town of San Pedro Tláhuac originally on an island. There are still some lake areas in the present day, along with four major canals and wetlands, also under conservation status. The urbanization has led to serious traffic and transportation problems. In 2012, Line 12 of the Mexico City Metro was completed with a terminal in the borough. thumb|Tláhuac pronunciation
