After 38 years of being called Villa Álvaro Obregón, in 1970 a new decree was formed to reorganize Mexico City. 16 political delegations were established and from then on this demarcation is formally called the Álvaro Obregón delegation. After the political reform of Mexico City in 2015, it received the name of the Álvaro Obregón territorial demarcation.

Urbanism

Demarcation environment

It is made up of 257 colonias, subdivisions and neighborhoods, including San Ángel, San Ángel Inn, Tlacopac (which means place between the rockroses or reeds), Ermita Tizapán, Chimalistac, Guadalupe Inn, Florida, Jardines del Pedregal, and the majority of the colonies that make up the Santa Fe area. In addition, this jurisdiction has towns with rural characteristics such as San Bartolo Ameyalco and Santa Rosa Xochiac. Where the Lomas de la Era neighborhood is located, previously there was a river where the first settlers carried water to drink, likewise they went to wash there or in the San Bartolo laundries, unfortunately with the arrival of more people that river has been used to dispose of our drains and most of the trees have been removed to build homes.

The Álvaro Obregón mayor's office is home to some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, such as the towns of San Ángel, Tlacopac, and Chimalistac, or the Colonia Jardines del Pedregal to the south, and the area of Santa Faith in the limits with the Cuajimalpa mayor's office, towards the west. Other neighborhoods with medium-high and high purchasing power converge within them, such as: San Ángel Inn, Florida, Altavista, Campestre, Tlacopac, Guadalupe Inn, Lomas de Tarango, Colinas del Sur, Las Águilas, or Villa Verdún. In the same way, there are middle-class nuclei scattered throughout the demarcation, such as the San Pedro de los Pinos, Tetelpan, Plateros, Merced Gómez, COVE, Progreso Tizapán, Axotla and Alpes neighborhoods; and of a popular nature such as: Observatorio, La Cascada, Presidentes, Américas, Alfonso XIII, Molino de Rosas, Olivar del Conde, and the Town of Santa Fe. In the demarcation there are also several irregular settlements on the ravines and plains of the old rivers of Mixcoac, Tacubaya and San Borja that present high degrees of marginalization. Within these are neighborhoods such as El Cuernito, Golondrinas, La Araña, Punta del Ceguayo, La Providencia, Tepeaca, Ave Real, La Mexicana, El Ruedo, El Queso, Llano Redondo, Primera Victoria, Jalalpa, Barrio Norte, among others.

Neighborhoods and towns

In the mayor's office you can also find small portions of rural and semi-urban towns and colonies with a certain degree of marginalization located on the border with the Desierto de los Leones to the southwest, such as Santa Rosa Xochiac and San Bartolo Ameyalco. The Mayor has 5 towns which are:

Álvaro Obregón is also one of the municipalities with a rural area and wooded mountainous areas, among the towns located in the mountains are: San Bartolo Ameyalco, Santa Rosa Xochiac, El Desierto de los Leones and also Tizapán (which comes from tizatl, 'plaster' or 'clay'; pan: 'in', 'on', 'on top', meaning "place on the chalk"), an area that in recent years has changed from being a town as it was called twenty years ago, with the advantage of having all the services since it is surrounded by San Ángel and Pedregal. The mountainous areas located in this municipality reach 3800 m s. no. m. (meters above sea level), where there are ideal places for hiking, camping and high mountain walks.

From north to south, between the road called Altavista - Calzada al Desierto de los Leones and Avenida Barranca del Muerto and to the west, between Calzada de los Leones and Avenida Revolución, there is an old settlement called Pueblo Tlacopac, which In the Nahuatl language it means 'place between the jaras or reeds'. From this place it was possible to access on foot, up to some of the upper parts of what is now called the "Las Águilas" neighborhood.

Tlacopac, is a typical area, the layout of its main street, the location of its parish and its cobbled streets and alleys, invites you to learn about its participation in the history that has forged our country from this city.

The Magdalena River flows through the town hall, the last living river in the city that suffers a serious pollution problem, although its cleaning and beautification of the surrounding environment is planned.

Similarly, in the past, in the surroundings of Periférico and Plateros, the General Asylum of La Castañeda was located, established in the year 1910 by the former president, Porfirio Díaz, to celebrate 100 years of Independence. This had a double function of hospital and asylum for the psychiatric care of mental patients of both sexes, of any age, nationality and religion. Due to the terrible conditions in which the inmates were in La Castañeda. In 1964, President Adolfo López Mateos founded the "Miguel E. Schulz" National Preparatory School 8 in the neighboring territories of La Castañeda. The government of Gustavo Díaz Ordaz decided, in 1967, to inaugurate farm-hospitals located on the outskirts of the city, where the 5,000 inhabitants of the old mental hospital were transferred. The majestic French-style façade of the hospital survived, which stone by stone was moved from Mexico City to Amecameca by the Legionaries of Christ.

Some neighborhoods of the mayor's office are located in areas of sand mines, such as Olivar del Conde, Presidentes, Capula, Piloto, Bellavista among others and are classified as a "high-risk mined area"; in 2005 in the Olivar del Conde neighborhood is where the most cavities have been located, and from last year to date, through a collaboration agreement with engineers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), 21 mines were identified, of three of which were considered very high risk.

This town hall is home to the facilities of the National Defense Secretariat, Military Camp No. 1-F Santa Fe.

Even with the programs that are carried out in these demarcations for the desolvation of the dam with sewage, such as the one located in Minas de Cristo avenues, the population of the surrounding neighborhoods continues to use these places as garbage deposits, for which reason the Authorities have to create new strategies to counteract the problems that exist with the lack of culture in garbage management.

Recently, green areas as well as parks have been recovered, remodeling and placing children's games for the recreation of the families living in this delegation, the green areas have been reforested in places, sports fields and running tracks have been placed, this increases the sport and decreases the misuse of these facilities, security booths were placed; Now you can walk through these places and exercise.

Cleaning tasks are also carried out in avenues and in dams, families still disposing of garbage in them, causing flooding due to their clogging.

On the other hand, to help low-income families, the government has installed soup kitchens where they can go for subsidized food, contributing to the family economy of low-income groups.

Heritage

Map of the most representative places of the delegation of Alvaro Obregón.

The lower part of the mayor's office is distinguished by its neighborhoods with mansions, its neighborhoods with great tradition, parks, and colonial churches located in the San Ángel, San Ángel-Inn, and Chimalistac neighborhoods; contrasting with the modern architecture of Santa Fe in the western part and adjoining the Cuajimalpa City Hall. Some places of interest are: the Plaza de San Jacinto, where the monument in homage to the San Patricio Battalion is located, the Saturday Bazaar, the Flower Market, the Plaza de los Arcángeles, the Casa del Risco, the Monument to General Álvaro Obregón, the ex-Hacienda de Goycochea, the chapel of San Sebastián Chimalistac, the House of the Dolphins, the Church of San Jacinto, the Church of El Carmen, the House of the Mayorazgo de Fagoaga, the House-studio of Diego Rivera, the Chamber of Secrets, Plaza del Carmen, El Desierto de los Leones, Plaza San Jacinto, the corridor of bars and restaurants on Av. de la Paz, the Hellenic Theater, the San Ángel Cultural Center and the Carmen and Carrillo Gil.

The latter has a functionalist architectural plan designed in the mid-1950s by the architect Augusto H. Álvarez, commissioned by Dr. Álvar Carrillo Gil. It is a building made expressly, to serve as a museum, although it was occupied for a few years as a local offices and offices. In 1974 it was inaugurated as a museum; Since then it has undergone several modifications, the most important of which completely transformed the façade of the building in 1985.

The southern part of the City Hall, covered by volcanic rock resulting from the explosion of the Xitle volcano, was hit in the middle of the XX century of a singular urban project upon being chosen by Luis Barragán for the Jardines del Pedregal subdivision; Very little remains of the mansions built under the original concept as they are the object of real estate pressure in the western part of the city.

In the San Ángel area, in the direction of Anillo Periférico Sur, the offices of the Televisa Company are located, which previously belonged to Televisión Independiente de México, but when these facilities merged, they became part of Telesistema Mexicano, the which constituted what is now called Televisa.

In the Alfonso XIII neighborhood there is an emblematic park called Montecarmelo where young people gather to carry out various outdoor activities, and dance and aerobics classes are held at night in the park kiosk.

The Parque de la Juventud was created in the vicinity of the delegation headquarters, next to it, it is equipped with soccer fields, fast football and basketball, as well as two children's play areas. In addition to having the Youth Theater, a multipurpose room, two small forums, which are rented for various events, whether school or cultural, a traffic education area, where children can go with their bicycles, skateboards or tricycles, and they learn as a game how to pay attention to and respect road signs; and a House for the Elderly.

Monument to Álvaro Obregón

Located in a large park on Avenida de los Insurgentes that marks the access to the San Ángel neighborhood, the monument to Álvaro Obregón is an urban landmark of mandatory reference in the south of Mexico City.

This monument was erected in 1935 to commemorate the assassination of President Álvaro Obregón in 1928 in this same place. This event happened in the context of a meal at the elegant restaurant "La Bombilla" that was located in the middle of the Chimalistac orchards that once belonged to the Convento del Carmen. At said meal, held on July 17, 1928, the then president-elect was assassinated by José de León Toral.

The monument consists of a large hollow tower inside that presents a wide access stairway guarded by two large stone sculptures made by the artist Ignacio Asúnsolo. Inside the monument there is a large room that previously housed an extremely grotesque object that consisted of the hand that Obregón had lost in a battle earlier and that has since been withdrawn. In this work it is possible to detect a strong influence of art deco that is manifested in the volume of the monument itself as well as in the geometric character of the sculptural groups that make it up. In front of the Monument there is a large mirror of water lined with cypresses and rose bushes that enhance the place and make it a pleasant place to walk for office workers from nearby corporate buildings.

World Heritage Site

In 2011, the Legislative Assembly of the Federal District (ALDF) requested the Federal District government to promote the Chimalistac area as Cultural Heritage of Mexico City. The initiative seeks to protect the cultural and architectural wealth of the area against the constant increase in departmental developments. It should be noted that the architectural wealth of the Chimalistac area was the source of inspiration for the novel "Santa" written by Federico Gamboa in 1903.
