The streets of the colonia bear the names of generals and governors of Mexico as well as their neighbor San Miguel Chapultepec.
This colony emerged in the mid-twentieth century, when the ancient and wealthy residents of the Villa de Tacubaya moved to areas such as Las Lomas de Chapultepec; Polanco and Condesa, working-class people settled there, becoming a place surrounded by sawmills, workshops, shops and inns; for this reason at some time Constituyentes Avenue was known as Calzada Madereros.
Through its streets (José Morán) passes the new Polanco-Condesa cycleway[1] and the cycleway Observatorio - Condesa, it is intended to turn the area into a cultural corridor, because the house - workshop Luis Barragán is located there.
[2] This colony has benefited from the real estate boom that the San Miguel Chapultepec colony has suffered in the last decade, besides having within its limits, in General Francisco Ramírez street, important galleries such as Labor, Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura, La Casa Ortega (first work of the architect Luis Barragán) and the Casa Luis Barragán,[3] one of the most influential and representative works of contemporary architecture in the world, recognized by UNESCO as one of the 31 areas classified as a World Heritage Site in Mexico.
It has been carried out since 2012 with the aim of creating a cultural corridor similar to the Roma - Condesa, this has led to the rehabilitation of the underground passage adjacent to the exit of the metro constituents.
