Neza Gardens will be home, work and study area, and the place where a new inhabitant will develop socially: the resident of the gardens. The keeper of his city, building his life in urban orchards, schools, research centers, and sports areas. The project will duplicate the existing public space, satisfying the needs of Neza´s residents.
Understanding the lack of square meters on the area to multiply the public space required in Neza by two, we decided to benefit from the aerial space to create a vertical public area and thus respond to the current problems.\nNeza Gardens will provide work, education, and home. Moreover, it will allow society to develop with the project.\nThe barrier between horizontality and verticality will be broken by means of ramps that will make the two dimensions of public space one, inviting the user to experience a series of gardens and seeking to finally give Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl an identity.
