Trade
Trade with the other land was very vital to the life of the aztecs. They needed raw materials and other goods that they could not create on their own land, and in exchange they gave the other regions things that they needed but couldn't produce. As the aztec empire grew so did the need and demand for trade. When Tenochtitlan and Ttatelolco (large city) grew, the farmers in the area strived by producing more of their crops to be sold. Long distance trade became more prominent and so that is what most people did. In addition, any area that was conquered by the aztecs sent large amount of goods as tribute.
Transportation
Throughout the aztec city of Tenochtitlan were canals that ran through the city. Working as roads for the people. When on the land there were walkways and other such sidewalks, and although the aztecs did have the wheel, they only used it for their childrens toys. They never put the wheel to any sort of practical use because they looked at it as taking the "lazy: or "easy" way. They took much pride in their physical endurance and strength. So the only mode of transportation was to move on foot. Even animals were not used in the transport of people and goods. When the people walked on foot their feet would have to be bare. Sandals were part of their culture, but they were only used in battle and very long distance travel.
