Overview
- The Mexico City head of government announced a larger 2026 budget for the Centro Histórico to fund a comprehensive revival of the area.
- Core actions include building-by-building housing diagnostics to drive repopulation and safeguard the district’s social character.
- A local-economy program aims to support traditional shops and workshops facing displacement pressures and competition from low-cost imports.
- Public-space measures feature 42 kilometers of new street lighting, a dedicated security team with a distinct uniform, and a proposed Centrobús service.
- The increase must be debated and approved by the city’s Congress, while cultural outreach tied to the plan is underway at the 7th Feria de los Barrios from Oct. 15 to 19 in Plaza Manuel Tolsá.
