== Demographics ==
Historically, the majority of the Panamán demographic were Afro-Panamians that descended from the slaves of pre-abolition Panama. Minority of the population were descendants of the few Genoese merchants stationed in Panama that settled in the city. However, after the construction of the Panama Canal and the boost of the city's economy during the 21st century, Panama had attracted immigrants from all over South and Central America to work in the service sector. Panama also has a large expatriate community, as well as a large community of Genoese retirees all the way from the Europe.
With a small land area, the local government ''Çittæ do Panamá'' mandates vertical expansion for residential and commercial spaces, making ''Çittæ do Panamá'' the "skyscraper microstate".
