The Head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, presented a strategy to address gentrification and provide housing to those who need it most through the remodeling of endangered homes. Initially, the comprehensive program will be implemented in Tlatelolco to address buildings with serious problems, aiming to provide more affordable housing, especially for young people.
Clara Brugada highlighted that the rehabilitation of housing in the Historic Center of CDMX will be prioritized, in addition to promoting its development. The plan includes not only the construction of housing but also measures to improve safety and maintenance in the area, thereby guaranteeing optimal conditions for the inhabitants and visitors of the capital.
In preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will have matches at the Estadio Azteca, a bike lane is planned to connect the Historic Center with the stadium. This route, which will primarily extend along Calzada de Tlalpan, will facilitate transportation from various Metro and Light Rail stations to sports events.
Clara Brugada expressed her commitment to addressing gentrification in Mexico City through public housing policy. During the first 100 days of her term, she emphasized the importance of implementing measures that ensure adequate housing conditions for the city's inhabitants, as well as improving peripheral neighborhoods and roadways in the 16 boroughs to enhance the quality of life and mobility.
To tackle the housing deficit and combat gentrification, the budget allocated for housing was doubled, reaching 9 billion pesos. Clara Brugada emphasized that her administration will focus on providing affordable and quality housing solutions for the citizens of the capital.
