Modelia es un barrio de clase media de la ciudad de Bogotá, perteneciente a la localidad de Fontibón . El barrio esta ubicado en la parte occidental de Bogotá. Originalmente construido por Fernando Mazuera alrededor de 1965, inició con un núcleo central de índole comercial que abarca unas 3 manzanas y un grupo de casas de dos plantas. El barrio se caracterizó inicialmente por la abundancia de parques y zonas verdes. En la actualidad comprende no solo la zona original de casas sino que ha integrado urbanizaciones con torres de apartamentos de mediana altura. El barrio se encuentra localizado en una zona de paso de aviones desde y hacia el Aeropuerto El Dorado motivo por el cual hay mucha contaminación acústica. Adicionalmente, la Avenida de La Esperanza cruza el barrio, lo cual conlleva una gran cantidad de tráfico y de conversiones de viviendas a locales comerciales alrededor del paso de la avenida. En este barrio también abundan las zonas de parques y de espacios entre casas llenos de árboles y mucha vegetación en casi todas sus partes.
