City+Land+Use

City land use   ﻿ ﻿﻿   Buenos Aires metropolitan area is divided into the federal district, which was established in 1880, and other suburbs surrounding it. The federal district has less than one forth of the population of the metropolitan area. A small part is in suburbs that continue to attract industry and residential communities. The city center is built on the original colonial foundation. Broad avenues define the limits of the city's unofficial but familiar neighborhoods and are lined by rows of apartment buildings. S uburbian residents are generally not as well-off as urban people, and the further away the suburb lies from the metropolitan area, the most likely it is to lack basic sevices and access to economic opportunities. Most of the city's people are located in the outlying suburbs.
