Satellites cities were the answer given by several Latin-American capitals to the unstoppable city growth. Unexpectedly, many of them were swallowed by the major city that they served. La Trinidad, a former satellite city in the south-east part of Caracas, was designed as a North American sub-urban neighbourhood that prioritized the accessibility to cars. In the past five decades, several geographic and infrastructural factors contributed to the transformation of La Trinidad into a virtual portal to Caracas. As many satellite cities, public space was not prioritized in La Trinidad. The use of land was strictly segregated between housing and industrial, and few connections between them were encouraged.
