Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur

This guide to the Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur in Buenos Aires traces how a 1977 highway-building spree under Argentina's military government left thousands of tons of rubble dumped along the riverbank for a planned neighborhood that never got built. You'll hear how the project collapsed with the dictatorship by 1983, and how the city spent years debating what to do with a wasteland nobody had asked for. Listen for what the 1986 city council vote finally decided, and look down at the path itself for what's still surfacing after nearly fifty years.
