The Analco neighborhood is located in the buffer zone of the newly regenerated historic centre of the city of Durango. It has suffered from deterioration and an indifference that became more evident when the work for regenerating the core zone of the historical centre started. In order to be able to propose an efficient strategy for rehabilitation, it is necessary to research an area that has not been thoroughly studied previously. Based on the results of different analysis made of the neighborhood, it was possible to know that the Analco neighborhood started as an independent Indigenous town that later was absorbed by the city of Durango, and due to the activities performed there the blocks in the neighborhood and the historical centre of Durango are different: the blocks shapes and sizes are influenced by the natural irregularities of the land, the combination of the block sizes, plot divisions and architecture, which gave as a result the existence of perimeter block inner spaces. Furthermore, the family ties of the owners of the plots in the neighborhood could be a crucial factor for the future use of those spaces.
