Jose Luis Cuevas (architect)

Jose Luis Cuevas Pietrasanta (1881–1952) was a Mexican architect who planned the Mexico City subdivisions:

  • In 1922, Lomas de Chapultepec
  • In 1926, Colonia Hipodromo (a.k.a. Hipodromo de la Condesa), in what is now known as the Condesa area, including its iconic parks Parque Mexico and Parque Espana

    • The subdivisions were based on the principles of the Garden City as promoted by Ebenezer Howard, including ample parks and other open spaces, park islands in the middle of "grand avenues" such as Avenida Amsterdam in colonia Hipodromo.
