Architects are planning on constructing a massive underground "earthscraper" in Mexico City.
The huge subterranean structure is one solution proposed to help find more places to build in the overcrowded Mexican capital. The new construction would be 65 stories deep and house a museum, retail space and residential accomodation.From a architect's perspective, several problems impede the development of Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities with a population teeming around 21. 2 million. A scarcity of new construction plots, height restrictions that limit new edifices to eight stories and laws that prohibit demolishing historic structures leaves little room for building up.
