The historic center of Culiacan is the original area of ​​the city, where you will find most of the buildings of the Spanish colonization between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, comprising an area of ​​approximately 247,123 ha (2,471 km2) from the 70s onwards, a process of depopulation of the area occurred due to the high cost of rents, the bustle of the streets and main and priority have greater commercial spaces avenues, but in recent years there has been a process repopulation of the same apartment building in midtown and an urban renewal project which aims to have a higher population density.

Las Colonias, which are the first settlements that were populating the perimeter around the original town of people from different social strata in order to have a broad and mostly near the center space; among the best known and largest populations are: Infonavit Humaya, Tierra Blanca, January 6, Stase, Humaya Boards, Almada, Miguel Aleman, Central Sinaloa, Morelos, Palmetto, El Barrio, Aurora, etc.

The Splits meanwhile are lotificados by different construction sites, in which occur in certain sections, the same style of housing, housing lower middle class, middle and upper middle, among the best known are: Conquest, Villas Rio Alto Valle, Los Pinos, Villa Verde, Villa Fontana, etc.

Residential areas are considered strategically built for people with high purchasing power, large, large green areas and in most of cases houses are bounded in private, and found: Chapultepec, Los Alamos, Guadalupe, Lomas Guadalupe, San Miguel Hills, Montebello, La Campina, Las Quintas.

Spring Urban Development

Created under the concept of a city within a city, spring is an area corresponding to the Partial Urban Development Plan Spring began on December 16, 1998 by Enrique Coppel, in order to give an indirect urban planning and sustainable development City to Culiacan.

In its first stage it has an area of ​​approximately 819.92 hectares (8.2 km2), with a strict access control through a perimeter fence combined with a dam for irrigation (now become lake) and San canal Lorenzo that supplies water.

The initial objective of the project is to create a community based on harmony, security and contact with nature, integrating areas for housing, commerce, church, hotel zone, schools, sports and recreation areas, offices, hospitals, university and industrial park , secured to the time the concept of green city. The importance of having all the aforementioned elements in addition to the basic services that any city needs (water, electricity, drainage, fixed and mobile telephony, gas, cable, internet, garbage collection) is in order to be an independent city , ie have their own identity that differentiates it from the central city (Culiacan).

The problem is defined that as is adjacent to the city, it is impossible for the inhabitants of this small city choose not out of it, since it was found most shops and tourist, cultural, sports and recreational places you also need, therefore, you may consider spring as a satellite city.
