Mexican urban growth has increased, after slowing down in past decades. I think a major factor is the deteriorating security situation in rural areas.

My in-laws moved from Mexico City to a rural town nearby, in part for "safety", 15 years ago. Now they're thinking of moving back, again in part for "safety". Unlike perceptions in the U.S., in Mexico the rural areas are now stereotyped as crime-ridden hellholes and the biggest cities are the safest.

I could see Bogota's population growing faster, given that Venezuela is emptying out, and Colombia is the biggest beneficiary.
