The Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México (ZMVM) has officially grown, now encompassing 84 municipalities and mayoralties. This expansion includes all 16 alcaldías of Mexico City, 59 municipalities from the State of Mexico, eight municipalities from the state of Hidalgo, and the municipality of Huitzilac in Morelos.

The incorporation of Huitzilac was decided during the first Ordinary Session of the Metropolitan Development Council of the Mexico Valley on August 8. Its inclusion is attributed to its significant role in water catchment.

Despite the expansion, the official declaration published in the Official Gazette of the Federation clarifies that this update does not modify the constitutional competencies, legal attributions, or regulatory powers of the federative entities and the federal government.
