Talk:Santa Fe, Mexico City

=Travel Hot Spots

Santa Fe, New Mexico is quickly becoming one of the top destinations in the southwest. While Santa Fe is not as populated as some of the southwest’s other cities, it is quickly becoming a hot spot for both retirees and young people as well. Santa Fe has some of the best qualities for a city. A warm climate, and the ability to enjoy your surroundings.

Hmmmmm... I think the history section should mention Carlos Hank (who was the regent that approved the project), Roque González (who was the one who made the project) and the fact that the area used to be a dumpster and a mining zone, but we still need more info... any help?

I am not sure Carlos Hank was the Regent when Santa Fe was approved he was regent from 75-82, unless it was approved in the early 80’s and was shelved for several years, I know that the land where the Ibero campus stands was donated in 1980, however it was not finished until 1987 and when it was finished it was the first building there for a while. To tell the truth I am not aware of who designed the master plan or when it was approved but I am inclined to believe it was approved either by Camacho Solis (88-93) or the previous regent Ramon Aguirre (82-88).

Criticism section

Even its huge shopping mall is relatively underutilized and its rents are well bellow shopping malls (Perisur, Plaza Satelite) in more established neighborhoods.

Can anyone source this? --pptudela 21:25, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

A quote from the 2005 Colliers international Mexico City retail market report "Premises inside the Perisur and Plaza Satélite shopping centers, have the highest average asking price, which is USD$55.00 per m2/month; followed by the Moliere Dos22 and Santa Fe shopping centers, with an asking price of USD$44.00 per m2/month and USD$36.00 per m2/month, respectively." A 19 dollar difference per m2/month between those two shooping centres and Santa Fe. I hope this source is good enough.--LS1010 14:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Largest Mall Statistics

I removed the "largest mall in Latin America and the third in the World" claim since I couldn't find any evidence for it, and since it directly contradicts the List of the world's largest shopping malls in Wikipedia; this list of 26 doesn't include Santa Fe and lists several others in Latin America, therefore implying that they're bigger.

I replaced it with "largest mall in Mexico" since this claim is likewise made on the "Centro Comercial Santa Fe" web site [1].

Just where is it?

How can it be a "central business district" if it is "located west of the city"?

I just corrected both of these errors; it's located in the west part of the city not "west of the city." Also I eliminated the word "central" and the link, since the term refers to downtown (i.e. city centre financial district).

I'm going to keep working on errors like these, and I'm also working to make it more natural English (i.e. "building highrises" which I've changed to "highrise buildings.) No offence to the original writer.

I'm going to find the distance from downtown as well.

I'm having trouble finding this information. On the expressway to Toluca, there is a point called "kilometro 14" which is really close to Santa Fe. Would it be safe to say it's about 15 km away from downtown because of this? I won't put it in the article until there's a better source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.180.75.169 (talk) 18:55, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

City Santa Fe Vs. Town Santa Fe.

Do not think it very appropriate to merge the two articles, because while Santa Fe (Pueblo) and Santa Fe City neighbors do not share a common history until about 20 years ago, its social context is very different and their problems.

Even within the history of the united states this people alone explains how the concept was the creation of the capital of New Mexico.--Sarumo74 (talk) 05:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
