XOCHIMILCO

This concept can be actualized by four measures: 1. By increasing building density in the liminal zone that can stop more urbanization from encroaching into Xochimilco. 2. Developing a synthetic gesture in the liminal zone to define the urban area, that can attract higher density buildings and prevent urbanization from encroaching further into the site. 3. Using water as a gap to completely stop urbanization in areas of high conflict in this regard. 4. Exchanging some functions along the liminal zone can create interdepedency between the two cities, which currently function independent and separate of each other. Creating a mix of functions can help bring both cities to work coherently. Through these approaches, I intend to bring Mexico City and Xochimilco together and function with mutual interdependence, which can help benefit the entire Federal District region as a whole.
