of this new urbanization and the lack of conservation and planning.
During the early 20th Century, Saltillo was called the Athens of Mexico
because of its number of famous intellectuals. Nowadays, it is considered
the Detroit of Mexico because of the importance of its automotive industry,
including the huge Daimler-Chrysler, General Motors, and Delphi plants.
