Mexico City is a metropolis where zones are meshed as commerce and life often converge to create dynamic spaces of interaction and interconnectivity. Unfortunately, these zones are being pushed to the periphery as modern development increases delineation to create islands of program disconnected from the pulse of the city. With all its potential for profit, this march of capitalism poses a threat on the cultural and sustainable potential of the city; as zones separate, so do our lives as significant time and energy is spent in transit. Meanwhile, green space is increasingly devoured by steel and concrete.
