DISTRITO MIRAMONTES

This district, along the major north-south axis Avenida Gustavo Baz, is the most suited for greater industrial and work-related uses, protecting residents from the immediate noise and pollution of this major road and providing good accessibility for businesses. Residences can still co-exist alongside a variety of light industrial uses, especially if supported by soft measures such as community-agreed operating hours. This area is named for Mexican chemist Luis E. Miramontes, recognized worldwide as a co-inventor the first oral contraceptives, and a professor of Chemistry in several Mexican universities.
