Cuautitlán Izcalli municipality was created in the 1970s , carved mostly out of Cuautitlán de Romero Rubio ( now simply ' Cuautitlán ' ) . Originally planned as the first self-sufficient city in the neighbourhood of Mexico City , the city 's design was based on European and American cities and included an industrial , a residential and several green areas . After the 1985 Mexico City earthquake , however , the plans fell apart due to a large influx of people searching for zones , such as Cuautitlán Izcalli , with no seismic danger
