Albuquerque AUTO INSURANCE (NM)

Albuquerque is located in the American southwest in the state of New Mexico and is among the fastest growing cities in the country. The Rio Grande River divides the city and the Sandia Mountains run along its eastern border. The city is also divided into four administrative quadrants.

As a result of rapid urban growth, traffic and air pollution are becoming major issues for Albuquerque. The city authorities are seeking to achieve more sustainable and balanced urban growth, beginning with better transportation opportunities such as a streetcar system.


The city is the heart of what is known as the New Mexico Technology Corridor, a number of high-tech private companies and government institutions along the river. Solar energy and architectural design are also major sectors in the city, which was named the best in America for business and careers in a 2006 Forbes Magazine.
