context_page_description: Nordelta district, located at the north of the Tigre Partido, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, consists of a gated community made up originally of 9 neighborhoods, founded in 1999 and known as the first ciudadpueblo of Argentina; it is close to the towns of General Pacheco y Benavidez.
  When compared to older gated communities in Pilar, Nordelta's natural features stand out as too "artificial", because Pilar's trees, for instance, are very large and mature compared to Nordelta's miniature trees.
  Because of its size and relatively affluent population, Nordelta has been able to develop and maintain a varied array of commercial and services infrastructure, including swimming pools, soccer and tennis fields, a shopping mall, a medical center, a sports club, four private schools, playgrounds, saunas, and more. Over the years, there has been steady development of new neighborhoods as more and more people moved in. Also, it was one of the first places in Argentina to have a Telecom communications network of a totally new generation.
context_section_description: The district was built on swampy land after it had been shaped into a series of lakes surrounded by grass and trees, making the place attractive for people seeking a calm life. The district is the largest and most successful example of gated communities in the Great Buenos Aires and credited to greatly improve the urban setting and standard of living of the population in general in the area. In addition to the quiet and landscaped settings, the main attraction for residents is the multiple layers of security that make it relatively much more secure than the surrounding area and other smaller developments. Consultatio, with Eduardo Constantini as head, was a 50 percent investor in the project.
  By the year 2000, 98 people were living in Nordelta.
  On December, 2004, 30 musicians on a raft on Nordelta's information center's lake, from the Argentine Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, gave an open-air concert.

  Diego Torres held a concert in Nordelta to 3,000 people, sending the year 2006 off with a two-hour party; by the year 2007, approximately 10,000 inhabitants were living in the district.
  On May 19, 2007, Horacio Lavandera, along with 30 musician of the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Pedro Ignacio Calderón, once again played in a concert in honor of Ludwig van Beethoven. The event was exclusive for property owners of Nordelta and their guests.
  On June 2, Gustavo Cerati, a famous rock musician, staged a concert in Nordelta, with over 2000 people attending. Proceeds from the tickets sold were allocated to the charitable organization Nordelta Foundation, to aid Las Tunas.
  Another event that took place in Nordelta was the match between two famous tennis players: Argentinian Guillermo Cañas and Spanish Carlos Moyà.
  Currently the development is one of the locations of the "Soltando Amarras" Bioflow program.
