Satélite

Ciudad Satélite (lit. transl. Satellite City), commonly known as Satélite, is a middle-, upper-middle and upper-class area in Naucalpan, in the western part of Greater Mexico City, located some 14 km northwest of the Historic Mexico City Center. Officially, the name corresponds exclusively to the homonym neighbourhood, Ciudad Satélite, founded circa 1957. With time, the surrounding areas (including middle- and upper-middle-class neighbourhoods like Lomas Verdes, Echegaray, Paseos del Bosque or San Mateo), alongside adjacent municipalities Atizapán de Zaragoza and Tlalnepantla de Baz, have collectively been grouped as "Satélite", due to their relevance and influence, both economically and socially. It has been modelled on urban areas in United States and England. Initially conceived as a "city outside the city", as an early response to the increasing population of Mexico City's upper-classes, Satélite has been one of Mexico's most prominent architectural ventures during the 20th century. Designed and built by Mexican architects Mario Pani and José Luis Cuevas Pietrasanta, under the aegis of then-president Miguel Alemán Valdés (1946–1952) and his family ranch, Los Pirules (which was purchased from the Centurión-Fuentes family on the hacienda Los Chabacanos), it quickly became popular among wealthy locals who wanted to acquire property outside the city proper.
