Edge Landscapes: Two notes on entropy in Mexicali

Abstract

Two public spaces located at the border from different natures: a square commemorates the anniversary of a city’s foundation, it is found in an interstice and remains empty, set to be ruined; one of the first parks, within walking distance from the border, is representing what is full, permits cohabitation of a diversity from an immigrant land, is taken care inadequately by the city’s administration. This production of public space promotes the idea developments is stocked in a conception process that, paradoxically, also demonstrates a constant growth.
