Parque Ecológico do Lago de Texcoco - México
http://www.parquetexcoco.com/
ACCIONES PROPUESTAS:- Mejorar las condiciones ambientales
- Reducir las afectaciones a la salud
- Aumentar la proporción de áreas verdes por habitante
- Desarrollar equipamiento deportivo y recreativo, traducido en más de 500 canchas deportivas y 115 km de ciclovías
- Incrementar y promover la educación ambiental
- Aumentar el volumen de tratamiento de aguas residuales
- Incrementar la recarga de mantos acuíferos mediante pozos de reinyección en zonas federales
- Regular las avenidas de la ZMCM durante un escenario de tormenta extrema
- El Parque Ecológico Lago de Texcoco generará más de 11 mil empleos directos
Este proyecto tendrá la capacidad de revitalizar las redes sociales, culturales y educativas del área más abandonada de la ciudad de México. El proyecto busca generar un borde ecológico suave como reacción al crecimiento exponencial del siglo pasado que llevo a la ciudad desde una población de 3 millones en 1950, a más de 20 millones en el año 2000.
La propuesta implica una serie de estrategias que operarán simultáneamente a varias escalas y en distintas temáticas. La idea es que la conjunción de dichas estrategias incorpore los potenciales del territorio para presentar soluciones ecológicas a los problemas propios de la región.
Este es un proyecto que mantendrá su inteligencia gracias a su habilidad de incorporar nuevas ideas. Será una "empresa de colaboración" con soluciones de final abierto que mantendrá involucrado a los sistemas políticos, económicos, ecológicos, culturales y sociales de esta Mega ciudad.
Texcoco Lake Ecological Park: Mexico City to Build the World's Largest Urban Park

Leading Mexican architect and landscape urbanist Iñaki Echeverria just shared his newest project with us, which when completed, will be the largest urban park in the world. Dubbed El Parque Ecologico Lago de Texcoco (Texcoco Lake Ecological Park), the wide, open development is envisioned as a green urban landscape integrating wetlands, lakes, and public space in Mexico City. The planned lake restoration is a massive undertaking as it will encompass more than 35,000 acres of space – which is 41 times larger than New York’s Central Park.
Echeverria hopes that the area of the central Mexico City valley once covered by Lake Texcoco can be reclaimed to create a new urban landscape that combines nature with infrastructure. The area of the planned park was historically covered by Lake Texcoco and other small bodies of water. In fact, the Texcoco region has been engineered by humans for centuries as dikes and canals were built to channel Mexico City’s water and lakes as early as the 1400s under Aztec Emperor Montezuma. One of the goals of the Lago Texcoco Park is to create a resilient and sustainable green border to the massive growth that Mexico City has experienced (the population has grown from 3 million in the 1950s to more than 20 million today).
In keeping with these goals, the urban engineering project proposed by Echeverria and his team draws upon a long history of landscape engineering in Mexico City. The Texcoco park project will become the largest piece of green infrastructure in the Mexico City Valley, while simultaneously drawing attention back to a largely abandoned area of the city. The project envisions creating lake, wetland, meadow and forest habitats, along with community gardens and will also include renewable energy installations such as wind and solar and an integrated transit system. In addition, Echeverria is designing a multitude of sports facilities, bicycle and pedestrian lanes, playgrounds, and visitor centers for Mexico City residents to enjoy when they visit Texcoco Park.
Also noteworthy is that one of the unique environmentally-friendly aspects of the plan is its waterscape. The park will include wastewater treatment facilities, wetlands and holding ponds that will function as part of a massive drainage system. Not only that but the green infrastructure of the park will enable it to act as a flood protection system for the urban landscape of Mexico City.
