description The text analyses the origin and development of housing-block units, known in Mexico as “multifamiliares” and implemented within a formula of urban design that separates the pedestrian of the car, the so called superblock, and who were protagonists of the formula of the Mexican state in the implementation of housing policies for the city of México. There are reviewed the origins and initial proposals for housing buildings in the final forties, specifically the Unidad Modelo and Unidad Esperanza and other bigger housing-block units design by Mario Pani and built between 1946 and 1965. The development of the superblock and of the housing-block units reflects the influence of the ideas of the Modern Movement about urban design and new housing typology. New urban design with the superblock and it’s ideal of establishing a new urban order in the urban fabric through a bigger scale and higher density. And with the new typology of the housingblock units as representing the aspirations to live in the modernity with a series of integrated services and wide free spaces.
