History

The Megaproject "Angelópolis" was planned in 1995 by the state government to trigger the development of the region. In this plan were included the extension of 11 sur Avenue, construction of Atlixcáyotl Avenue, the rescue of the Historic Center and the deconstruction of the Convention Center, besides the use and fractionation of the land bank "Atlixcáyotl."

Since the installing of Angelópolis Mall (1994), until its final inauguration (2002), the name of the area took its name, so now the area is popularly called "Angelópolis" or "Zone (of) Angelópolis." Consequent to this, the price per square meter in the area began to increase; this trend is expected to increase further.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q19000388. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995, 1994 and 2002.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
