The Morena deputy, Pedro Haces Lago, presented an initiative in Congress to establish the mandatory inclusion of green areas and rainwater harvesting systems in new constructions and major renovations in the capital. Referencing successful models in other countries, such as Singapore or Germany, Haces Lago emphasized the importance of building a more sustainable city and improving the quality of life for citizens.
In his speech before Congress, the deputy highlighted that this initiative aims to promote sustainable urban development, ensuring mandatory green spaces in new constructions and renovations, as well as establishing a real environmental commitment to reduce pollution, moderate the city's temperature, and protect biodiversity.
"Today I am not just here to talk about green areas; I am here to talk about a more sustainable present. They represent the balance we so desperately need in an increasingly urbanized world," affirmed Haces Lago. He also stressed the urgency of implementing effective measures to combat the effects of climate change, such as water scarcity and high temperatures in the city.
The deputy urged citizens, businesspeople, architects, and urban planners to work together to build greener, more humane, and livable cities. The proposal was sent to the Urban Development and Infrastructure Commission for analysis and discussion, highlighting that green areas are more than just decorative elements in cities; they are essential for clean air, recreational spaces, and coexistence for families and future generations.
