Overview
- The Utopía Centli was inaugurated on Sunday, July 26, 2026, after a 253 million pesos investment and rehabilitation of an abandoned sports site to create roughly 50,000 square meters of public space.
- The complex groups free services in one site, including medical clinics, a semi‑Olympic pool, sports courts, childcare, elder care, a community dining room, laundry and cultural and educational facilities.
- The project includes a Casa de Semillas, a seed laboratory and a germplasm bank to monitor and preserve native maize varieties under the city’s declaration as a territory free of transgenic maize.
- Officials ordered an immediate increase in Red de Transporte de Pasajeros units to Topilejo and pledged to return within two months with a permanent mobility plan to address chronic transport shortages.
- Local leaders said the Utopía follows nine months of dialogue and a unanimous land donation by the communal assembly, and city officials framed the project as part of broader land‑recovery and conservation efforts that recovered 298 hectares of previously invaded land.
