Overview
- La Soberana, which Clara Brugada inaugurated Sunday, delivered a first phase that transformed roughly 90,000–91,377 m² with an investment near 300 million pesos and more than 80 operational spaces.
- The complex offers pools, gyms, courts for dozens of sports, a 400‑seat auditorium, creative labs, an 800‑seat circus tent and a public care system with childcare, medical consults, laboratory services and free mammograms.
- Officials say the site will serve more than 100,000 people within a one‑kilometre radius and bundle services that they estimate could save families over 10,000 pesos per month on care, food and laundry.
- City leaders announced plans to expand La Soberana by about 100,000 m² for a new Clínica Condesa for HIV care, a toxicology hospital for addictions and an 'Aldea Juvenil', though those components remain in development.
- ONU‑Habitat presented the Pergamino de Honor to Brugada for the Utopías model, which the city is pitching as a flagship urban‑social innovation in advance of a sexenio aim to build 100 Utopías and host the World Urban Forum in 2028.
