MEXICO CITY – The Congress of Mexico City has officially received the draft of the General Development Plan (PGD) 2025-2045, marking a significant milestone in the capital’s urban and social governance. This 20-year planning instrument, mandated by the city’s Constitution, aims to establish a democratic planning system to guide the city’s future over the next two decades.
A Collective Vision for the Future
The project, submitted by Head of Government Clara Brugada Molina, represents a collective vision for the city. According to the parliamentary group of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), the plan is designed to build a city centered on rights, well-being, sustainability, and expanded opportunities.
The development of the PGD was the result of an extensive six-month public consultation process. Official figures indicate that 646,000 people participated through various workshops, forums, and meetings. Furthermore, the process included free, prior, and informed consultations with 84 towns, 44 original neighborhoods, 75 indigenous communities, and 12 Afro-descendant organizations.
Key Transformation Pillars
Citizen contributions significantly shaped the final document, expanding the proposed lines of transformation from 22 to 28. The plan is structured around five core dimensions:
- Democratic city and centrality of the public sphere.
- Welfare and care state.
- Dynamic economy with shared prosperity.
- Eco-social urbanism.
- City of full cultural rights.
The plan envisions a city where essential services are accessible within a 15-minute radius, emphasizes 100% electric public transport, improved access to potable water, and the promotion of public housing for youth.
Legislative Path Forward
With the document now in the hands of the Congress, the process enters a phase of legislative analysis, deliberation, and dictamination. Morena lawmakers have pledged to approach this task with technical rigor and transparency, inviting all political forces to discuss the plan with a long-term perspective to ensure it transcends electoral cycles.
