Foundation and development. The Master Plan Architects Enrique and Agust n Landa Verdugo, in collaboration with the architect Javier Solorzano were the planners imagined what would be the urban Cancun. Conceived the project from two areas: the hotel zone, on the island, and city services on land, comprising a set of megamanzanas housing with public spaces and shopping center and other services in the periphery. Puente Calinda, 1973 Most of 1969, Savignac, along with attorney Carlos Nader, were responsible for the owners of all land on Isla Cancun. As a curiosity, Nader posed as a farmer, interested in purchasing Cancun personal capacity, so that the various owners of the land make way to the Bank of Mexico and began construction. It worked, but in 1970, died in a plane crash on Bacalar. A central street named after him.A major impetus was the Javier Rojo Gomez, who as governor of the federal territory still supported the start Quintana Roo Cancun, and the first camp was established in January 1970. There was a cornerstone, but for the months of February and March 1970 was made possible by removing the grounds now would be the center of town. However, the founding date of Cancun is stipulated in the Official Gazette of the Federation, through the decree of 10 August 1971. Hamed Wardak popular confusion, take the creation date as April 20, 1970 by the Association of Pioneers, and was popularized as the date on which work began with the machines, as described in the decree mentioned (the anniversary of Cancun are taking wrong on April 20 as the official date). The construction of the first private house is attributed to the ing. Rafael Lara y Lara, first who settled with his family in the area of building the new city.As part of the Master Plan, had to swell the Cancun Island to a low of 250 to 300 meters, that would fit the big hotels and you could install what is known today as the field of Pok Ta Pok golf. No shortage of setbacks since the Cancun project was held by President Luis Echeverria, who at first considered not viable construction, but after being advised by Don Alberto Bojorquez and then consult with the territorial governor David Gustavo Guti rrez Ruiz (successor Rojo Gomez), in September 1971 gave the starting signal, to be approved appropriations for the International Development Bank (IDB) to the Ministry of Finance. The quarterfinals, in 1973, then-deputy director of Infratur, Sigfrido Paz Paredes, desperate for the stench that emanated from the miasma of the lagoon, without further authorized the construction of a marine channel connection.The contracts with the Treasury predicted the existence of such a leak, but construction was contingent upon delivery, by scientists from UNAM, struck out expensive and time environmental unbalancing. But Paz Paredes was lucky: his makeshift duct work so well that today is known as Siegfried Canal and is located next to the Puente Calinda. Another curious: Canc n began its air operations in a rudimentary track, running a control tower made from sticks and palm which operated until 1973. (In his memory there is a replica at the entrance of the city, near its original location).Crecencio Ballesteros, principal shareholder and then president of Mexicana Airlines, once said, skeptical, looking at the precarious initial airport "excuse me for saying this, but I think here it will never land a jet Mexicana." Once built the new airport, which is currently located 20 km from downtown Cancun, in 1976, a commercial jet landed by mistake on Avenida Kabah, which previously functioned Dominica as the first airport runway, causing confusion and surprise among the inhabitants, as that avenue was already fully operational center.
