Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, Municipality in State of Mexico, Mexico

The municipality of Nezahualcóyotl extends across former Lake Texcoco land, encompassing residential neighborhoods and commercial districts in the northeastern part of Mexico City metropolitan area.

The area transformed from submerged lake territory to urban settlement after 1912, when the federal government initiated land sales following Lake Texcoco's drainage project.

The municipality carries the name of Nezahualcoyotl, the 15th-century Texcoco ruler who established significant legal reforms and contributed to Mesoamerican literature through poetry.

The Mexibus system connects Nezahualcóyotl with surrounding municipalities, while multiple highways provide direct access to Mexico City's central districts.

Ciudad Jardín Bicentenario stands on the former Bordo de Xochiaca landfill site, representing the transformation of a waste management facility into an urban development project.
