Overview
- Morena lawmakers delivered to the city’s Planning Institute on Monday a 350-plus page record from 36 forums, reporting 7,516 attendees and 1,257 proposals collected across all 16 boroughs.
- The Institute said the consultation remains open through April 10, and Mayor Clara Brugada stated the deadline will not be extended or restarted despite calls from neighborhood committees.
- Institute director Patricia Ramírez confirmed the draft no longer proposes eliminating the neighborhood Copacos and said the plan does not aim to change land use or spur real estate projects.
- Morena leaders urged residents to back the planning tool and warned about disinformation, while planners described broad outreach that brought in voices from business groups, civil society, and local communities.
- The General Development Plan is meant to guide investment, jobs, and fair, sustainable growth for two decades, with inputs to be integrated before a draft goes to the city congress for open hearings and debate.
