Overview
- Clara Brugada delivered the Plan General de Desarrollo 2025–2045 to the Mexico City Congress after the city’s planning board approved the project, starting the formal legislative review process.
- The plan is written as a normative framework that will require public programming and budgets to meet long‑term goals such as neighborhood childcare within 15 minutes, full electrification of public transport, universal basic services and eradication of extreme poverty.
- City officials say six months of consultations reached about 646,000 participants and widened the draft from 22 to 28 strategic lines and from three to five dimensions, changes they say show the process altered the original text.
- Opposition lawmakers, led by the PRI, and neighborhood committees are demanding the plan be withdrawn or that the consultation records be audited, and groups have delivered tens of thousands of signatures challenging the government’s participation figures.
- Congress has turned the project to planning and government commissions for discussion, and the mayor’s office says territorial zoning and detailed land‑use rules will be set later in the separate Programa General de Ordenamiento Territorial, a step that will shape how the plan affects neighbourhoods and housing.
