Zapopan, the modern area shown here, is a entirely separate city, but in practice it is fully integrated into Guadalajara and part of the metropolitan area. It is the western neighboring city and is more affluent than Guadalajara itself.
There is also another modern high-rise cluster in western Guadalajara, but we didn't get to visit it on our quick two-night business trip. City center itself should be more historical and touristy part of the town but again, no time to visit.
It was my first time in Mexico, so I have nothing to compare to, but what I saw both matched my expectations of Mexico, as well as exceeded them.
