A plot of 71 hectares in the south of the metropolis is set aside for a complex of hospitals, educational and research institutes Campus Biometropolis. The key to its location was the proximity to the concentration of already existing healthcare institutions and the campus of the National University. The ensemble of the new district will include hotels for visitors, a conference center, and biotechnology enterprises. In general, the complex is focused on six areas of research: oncology, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, pharmacology, nutritional problems and geriatrics.
Half of the territory will be occupied by a nature reserve to preserve the flora and fauna characteristic of the Mexico City area, as well as landscape design zones that decorate the space between buildings. The structures will be located around the Pedregal lava fields, and some of their underground volcanic formations and caves will be part of Campus Biometropolis, which will facilitate their exploration.
Also, residential buildings, hotels, offices and other structures necessary to create a viable multifunctional area of the city will be erected there. All buildings will be designed to catch the cool wind from the north. Given the water scarcity in Mexico City, the green spaces of the ensemble are designed to naturally absorb rainwater into the soil and enrich the aquifer; for the needs of the complex itself, rainwater will be collected from roofs, roads and other open spaces.
