Paseo de la Reforma avenue is one of the most important in Mexico City (CDMX) with a length of 14.7 kilometers running from the west to the north of the territory, passing through areas such as Santa Fe, the Historic Center reaching the beginnings from the Calzada de Guadalupe and the Calzada de los Misterios.

They renamed Tepito as “Reforma Norte” to raise rental prices

According to Internet users, the fact that the construction company named the area that way was with the intention of being able to raise the costs of acquiring a property

Originally it was known as Paseo de la Emperatriz or Paseo del Emperador, since the initial section was made at the request of Maximilian I of Mexico during the Second Mexican Empire, however after the victory of Benito Juárez it was named Paseo Degollado, in honor Santos Degollado.

It was not until the government of Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada that it came to have its current name, since he named it in honor of the process known as the Reform. It has been part of great historical events, as well as being used for demonstrations, celebrations and even concerts.

With memes, users of social networks reacted to the renaming of Tepito as Reforma Norte

Although Internet users reacted with humor to the name change of Barrio Bravo, the controversy once again fueled the problem of gentrification in Mexico City

In previous days it became relevant after a sales company named Colonia Morelos as Reforma Norte, this in order to raise the prices of the apartments it offers. Since that name does not officially exist in CDMX, the term caused controversy among users upon learning of this situation.

However, in addition to inventing the name, his idea was completely wrong since the Barrio Bravo de Tepito, where the apartments offered are located, could not be considered as the northern part of Reforma, since despite being close, it is not connected directly with the popular avenue. It is located in the north-eastern area of ​​the Cuauhtémoc mayor’s office, but a historic neighborhood is an intermediary so that Paseo de la Reforma has no connection with Tepito.

There are three neighborhoods that are located to the north of the emblematic avenue, being Tlatelolco and Guerrero on the north-west side and Morelos on the north-east.

The Morelos neighborhood, where Barrio Bravo is located, does touch the northern part of Paseo de la Reforma, however the Peralvillo neighborhood stands in the way so that it can have a direct connection with the avenue. Even in a stricter sense, the apartment complex located on Calle de Gorostiza has more to do with the 2 North axis than with Reforma.

The name of Reforma Norte that they gave caused criticism for being something that does not exist as such, since no neighborhood or neighborhood has that distinctive, although a denomination could be taken for the northern area of ​​Paseo de la Reforma. In addition to pointing out that the company did not want to mention that its complexes were located in the Barrio Bravo de Tepito, an emblematic place of the CDMX but which has earned a bad reputation regarding crime.

The origin of the enigmatic neighborhood dates back to pre-Hispanic times, being one of the borders of Tenochtitlán and Tlatelolco, being one of the last neighborhoods to be colonized due to its opposition to the arrival of the Spanish. The area ended up being controlled by the original Tlatelolcos, taking the name of San Francisco Teocaltepiton

Its history has not been limited to its historical origin, but to the memory of a sector of the population that has been ignored for years by the authorities and that found a way to earn a living, selling all kinds of products in a tianguis in the streets of the Morelos neighborhood.

Now it could be looking for its restructuring to stop being forgotten with the gentrification that has been sought, although people have already made it clear that it can be known by another name than Tepito, much less can it be replaced by one like Reforma Norte.
