Mexico City Invests Over 260 Million Pesos in Santa Úrsula Revitalization, Inaugurates Huipulco Market

In a significant development for Mexico City, Head of Government Clara Brugada has inaugurated the newly renovated Huipulco market and a suite of other crucial infrastructure projects in the Santa Úrsula neighborhood. This comprehensive revitalization effort, with an investment surpassing 260 million pesos, promises to enhance public spaces and boost local economies across more than a million square meters.

The transformation encompasses a wide array of improvements, including the modernization of the Huipulco market, benefiting 96 local vendors through a carefully managed relocation process that prioritized dialogue. Brugada emphasized the administration's commitment to strengthening popular markets and fostering dignified income opportunities for citizens. The market now boasts 96 new stalls, improved lighting, and modern facilities, including an elevator.

We are committed to strengthening markets, strengthening the popular economy, strengthening the economy of our people, that is what we want, so that people can have a dignified way of earning income.

Beyond the market, the initiative has brought substantial upgrades to the area, such as extensive street lighting covering 74 kilometers—equivalent to 250 streets—designed with a "feminist urbanism" approach, incorporating gender-sensitive lighting. Other key projects include a new bicycle parking facility to complement the existing cycle lane, park creation, school renovations, and the transformation of the Modal Transfer Center (Cetram). These developments underscore Mexico City's dedication to improving urban living conditions and promoting sustainable transportation.

With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, these enhancements in Santa Úrsula, particularly its proximity to the Estadio Ciudad de México, are timely. The administration also highlighted the upcoming launch of an electric trolleybus service, further signaling a commitment to modernizing public transport and infrastructure for the benefit of all residents.

We brought this new vision of feminist urbanism, which is the installation of gender lamps, which I asked the Secretary of Works to place more in strategic areas. There are lamps that have messages about women's rights.
