People of Mexico City,

faced with a shortage of adequate, high-quality public spaces and services, have long fought to preserve and recover neglected community areas marked by marginalization, violence, and exclusion. In response, the government of Clara Brugada launched UTOPÍAS—first in Iztapalapa—as a high-impact strategy to reclaim the right to the city by building large-scale urban facilities in the most underserved areas. These inclusive, dignified public spaces aim to reverse deep socio-territorial inequalities and serve as foundations for community life, especially for women and caregivers.

UTOPÍAS are guided by principles of social justice, gender equality, democratic participation, sustainability, and respect for diversity and the environment. The challenge now is to scale the project across the city—from 14 to 100 UTOPÍAS—ensuring care, well-being, and access to rights reach all residents of Mexico City.
