Mexico City Planning Chief Affirms PGD Is a Draft, Open to Extending Public Consultation

Public input will produce a proposal that requires board approval prior to any legislative review.

Overview

  • During a congressional hearing, Pablo Yanes said the text in circulation is an antecedent draft released to be modified through consultation.
  • The consultation is scheduled through January 10, 2026, and Yanes said the period could be extended to ensure broad participation.
  • After revisions, the proposal will go to the Planning Institute’s Governing Board for approval before referral to the mayor and then the city Congress.
  • Yanes said the government is conducting outreach on bus shelters, Metro screens and social media, with videos in Náhuatl and Otomí.
  • Lawmakers, including Olivia Garza, criticized late posting on the Plaza Pública platform and workshop practices that rely on QR codes, arguing the process limits accessibility.
