"Regenerative" eco-park opens on site of cancelled Mexico City airport

Architect Iñaki Echeverria has completed the first phases of an eco-park three times the size of Manhattan in Mexico City, using some of the infrastructure of the cancelled Foster + Partners-designed airport.

Named the Lake Texcoco Ecological Park, the project entailed the regeneration and building of public infrastructure on a massive wetland environment on the eastern side of Mexico's capital city. It opened to the public last month.
