Thread: Urban sprawl

Photos of urban sprawl in Mexico City



REAL PICTURE! 300+ low income homes in Ixtapaluca, complex has more than 10,000


Nezahualcoyotl is a very interesting place, 3 millon people in one TIGHT place


The Cuautepec area has millons of inhabitants, but not much water or electricity


Crowded Neighborhood Huh?


Nobody's guessed who this belongs to yet.

Looks like a Borg "cube."

Too small for Vicent I bet......so how about some of the drug cartel? Reminds me of some of the townhouse complexes around here. Fancy cheap housing known as the next slum in a few years.

The first pic, looks like a model. But the others, my goodness. Want that next to you?

with 20-30 million non-citizens in this country, that's the way things will look before long. Already we are losing land to housing and roadways

Looks like the housing that I saw going up in Ireland a year and a half ago when I was last there. Due to the european union they are in a housing boom to accomodate all of the immigrants to that country. They all look the same and are modular to use less space and accomodate more apartments/townhouses.

It's pictures like these that make we wonder why the environmentalist extremests, the limited growth proponents, and the wildlife advocates aren't screaming their heads off. Where are these groups? They're not the types I'd normally hang with, but I'm willing to join up with just about anybody if they are also against illegal immigration and all the ramifications the illegals bring with them.
