Its foundation was 500a.C and it was the oldest city inhabited in Mexico, with nearly 25 centuries of continuous occupation. Around the year 1000d.C arrived into the valley toltecas groups, which formed the largest ceremonial center of Anahuac Cholula and it became in "the holy city.” On October 18, 1519, Cortés undertook the famous "massacre of Cholula", which served to instill fear in the Aztecs. The same Cortés wrote, "It's the most beautiful city from outside that exist in Spain". Carlos V gave to Cholula the title of city on October 27, 1935, putting the big city under the patronage of San Pedro on June 19, 1540.
= SITE OF STUDY
INTRODUCTION Our urban intervention shall be addressed to Cerro del Zapotecas of San Pedro Cholula, for this we will base on the construction rules of the city. Also, we will take in consideration the standards needed to name San Pedro ‘Pueblo Mágico’. For Last, we will apply the law that regulates the protected natural areas, because the Cerro del Zapotecas enter in these parameters.

DELIMITIATION OF THE SITE
=Cerro del zapotecas
=Area of direct influence
=Area of indirect influence
The direct influence zone is the one that has daily interaction with the hill, not only physical, but social. The inhabitants of that zone are directly affected with anything that happens to the protected area and many of them have included the hill to their every day activities and lifestyle (barbeques, outdoor activities). The indirect zone of influence is inhabited by people that have a weekly/monthly interaction with the hill. There is a possibility that a development plan of the Cerro del Zapotecos requires an intervention on this area because here is where the main roads of San Pedro are. We believe that the influence range of the site can (and will) increase after the urban development plan is implemented because a well planed area that offers services to people is an attractive place that catches the eye of users that live far from the hill. We came out with this final map that shows the site and the zones of influence that will be useful in the intervention.
DELIMITIATION OF THE SITE
To delimitate the site we first analyzed the range of influence of the hill. Arbitrarily, we defined that the direct area of influence was the first kilometer out of the edge of the protected area , and the next four kilometers is the indirect influence zone (see graphic on the previous page).

=dependance
= co-relation
On a regional level, there is not an important economic, infrastructural nor social flow. On this macro analysis, things flow one way, from Puebla to all the different suburbs and towns. Some of the suburbs have almost everything they need to be independent from Puebla but the inhabitants of the suburbs of San Pedro and San AndrĂŠs are use to the quality of service that Puebla offers and it will be expensive to recreate those services/equipment in SP or SA because they are near to Puebla.
DIAGNOSIS
San Pedro is a suburb of the metropolitan area of Puebla. Regionally, there is what appears to be a vertical network, with Puebla at the top of the network, but there is San AndrĂŠs, that could be a second nucleus of the region.
DIAGNOSIS
Topography As we can see on the map above, Cerro del Zapotecas is the last major hill of the valley before the volcanic belt starts.
