Officially established in 1973, the CDMX municipality of Cuautitlán Izcalli was planned as a self-sufficient, independent city, modeled after European and American urban designs. This magazine promoted the new area in a modern, stylized publication with psychedelic typography and sections on ecology, housing, commercial sectors, and urban forestry.
The original designs for Cuautitlán Izcalli—a Náhuatl phrase meaning “su casa entre los arboles”— were never fully realized. The earthquake of 1985 drove migration to areas outside of seismic activity, including Cuautitlán Izcalli, overwhelming the urban planners and creating large zones of adhoc sprawl.
