Mexico City’s government expects to have acquired more than 250,000 square meters of land by December 2026, with the goal of building more than 16,000 social and low-cost housing units.

The administration of Clara Brugada says access to urban land with infrastructure and services is central to its housing policy. The aim is to expand social and affordable housing for people who have long sought assistance through the city’s Housing Institute.

The government’s second annual report says more than 5 billion pesos have been invested during the current administration to expand the public land reserve for social and popular housing. It also links the land purchases to a broad program for affordable rental housing.

Under the Housing Together program, the city invested more than 3.9 billion pesos in land purchases during Brugada’s second year in office.
