The El Alto-La Paz metropolitan area, in western Bolivia, has grown dramatically in recent decades. Much of its population boom is owed to El Alto, which has grown tenfold since the mid-1970s, from about 100,000 residents to nearly 1 million today. El Alto is located adjacent to, and above, La Paz in the Altiplano highlands — it is the highest major city in the world at an average elevation of 4,000 meters (13,123 ft).
