Summary
| Description |
English: The Northern edge of Cd. Nezahualcoyotl used to be Mexico City's garbage dump, limited by one of the main open-air sweage systems. Its size is unbelievable – Huge is too small a word for it. After many years of being the dirtiest place in the city, it was shut down. Its land is poisoned unsuitable for basically anything. So, it was buldozered, leveled and covered in sand — and became an Ecological, recreational zone. The saddest, dirtiest ecological zone I've ever seen. A very surrealist setting.
At least, recreational it is. Over the dead soil, 76 football fields were drawn. When we arrived there, we were amazed at the outflow of people – Many, many hundreds of people use this barren place for their Sunday morning sports. It must not be too healthy, but at least there is a sports, convivence area available for its huge population. This last image gives us a bit of perspective on the size of this beast: Each of the little squares is a full-size football field. There are 76 of them. We entered by the road more or less in the middle and reached near its North-East limt, then back. Didn't even look at the Western part — but it was surely more of the same unbelievable nothingness.Español: El límite norte de Cd. Nezahualcóyotl era el tiradero de basura de la ciudad de México, limitado por uno de los principales sistemas de drenaje al aire libre. Su tamaño es impresionante — Inmenso es una palabra demasiado pequeña. Fue cerrado después de muchos años de ser el lugar más sucio de la ciudad. Su tierra está envenenada y es inútil para prácticamente cualquier cosa. Así que, fue aplanado, nivelado y cubierto con arena — Y se volvió una "zona ecológica y recreativa". La zona ecológica más triste y polvosa que he visto. Una visión realmente surrealista.
Por lo menos, recreativo sí es. Sobre del suelo muerto hay 76 campos de futbol. Cuando llegamos, nos sorprendió el flujo de gente – Muchos, muchos cientos de personas usan este lugar desolado para jugar los domingos por la mañana. No debe ser muy saludable, pero por lo menos hay un área de convivencia y deporte para la gran población de Cd. Neza. Esta imagen nos da una pequeña perspectiva del tamaño de la bestia: Cada uno de los cuadraditos es un campo completo de futbol. Hay 76. Entramos por el camino aproximadamente al centro y avanzamos hasta el límite noreste, y de vuelta. No vimos siquiera la parte occidental — Pero seguro sería más de esa increíble gran nada. |
