Thus, Buenos Aires is considered one of the most diverse cities of the Americas. This is because since the 19th century, the city, and the country in general, has been a major recipient of millions of immigrants from all over the world, making it a melting pot where several ethnic groups live together. It is a multicultural city that is home to multiple ethnic and religious groups, contributing to its culture as well as to the dialect spoken in the city and in some other parts of the country. It is known for its preserved eclectic European architecture and rich cultural life. In 2012, it was the most visited city in South America, and the second-most visited city of Latin America. The quality of life in Buenos Aires was ranked 91st in the world in 2018, being one of the best in Latin America. It is also the second largest city south of the Tropic of Capricorn. The Greater Buenos Aires conurbation, which also includes several Buenos Aires Province districts, constitutes the fifth-most populous metropolitan area in the Americas, with a population of around 13.8 million. Its citizens first elected a Chief of Government in 1996 previously, the Mayor was directly appointed by the President of Argentina. The 1994 constitutional amendment granted the city autonomy, hence its formal name of Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The city limits were enlarged to include the towns of Belgrano and Flores both are now neighborhoods of the city. In 1880, after decades of political infighting, Buenos Aires was federalized and removed from Buenos Aires Province. The city of Buenos Aires is neither part of Buenos Aires Province nor the Province's capital rather, it is an autonomous district. Buenos Aires is classified as an Alpha- global city, according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) 2020 ranking.
