¿GANÓ o PERDIÓ QUITO? 😱 El Antiguo Aeropuerto que se Transformó en el Parque Bicentenario ✈️

A journey back in time and a walk through Quito's history! In this special video, I take you on a tour of what was once the iconic Mariscal Sucre International Airport in the heart of the city, a place now known as Bicentennial Park. Did Quito win or lose with Bicentennial Park, the former Mariscal Sucre Airport? In 2025, this space will be transformed into a social, sports, and cultural hub: phase one includes the removal of abandoned structures, new ecological habitats, and events like the CONEQTA Quito 2025 Fair, scheduled to conclude in October. I explore the urban impact: well-maintained green areas versus contrasts like junk and abandoned structures. I include tips for visiting: free events like the Social Impact Zone on Saturdays, and the combination with the northern part of Quito for comprehensive development.

Discover the legacy of this key infrastructure: History and Nostalgia: Relive the history of the old airport, a focal point of the city for decades, and see how part of its original structure is preserved. City Gains: We analyze what Quito gained with the creation of Bicentennial Park: the largest urban green space, a new events center, and an environmental "lung" for the capital. Losses and Debate: We discuss what the city lost with the relocation of the terminal to Tababela: proximity to the city center, the debate over the high cost of the relocation, and the controversy over the development of the area. The New UIO: We compare the legacy of the old airport with the modernity and efficiency of the New Airport in Tababela (UIO). What is your most memorable memory of Quito's Old Airport?
