Government presents a CAF supported proposal for the use of the land left by Mexico City's International Airport
In the framework of the 2016 First Ordinary Session of the Economic and Social Council of Mexico City (CDMX), Miguel Angel Mancera Espinosa, Chief of Government of Mexico City, addressed the issue of the use of the land of the International Airport of the country's capital (AICM) with the presentation of the document developed with CAF's support
In order to carry out the development of a sustainable urban transformation policy for the CDMX, CAF, Development Bank of Latin America, signed a non-reimbursable technical cooperation agreement with the government's Economic Development Secretariat (Sedeco) to gather recommendations and action proposals from citizens and experts for the use of the land that the AICM will vacate, and present this information in a public policy proposal.
The Chief of Government stated that more than 1,276 inhabitants of the neighboring areas of the air terminal were interviewed, to learn first hand about their needs so that the Government of the CDMX may design an urban development plan in coordination with the citizens. In addition, aeronautical studies were carried out to discard the possibility of having two airports, so it will be necessary to generate ideal conditions for mobility, employment, and transportation in the new airport in the capital city.
The main objective of these studies is to prepare the local society to face the change in the location of the AICM, together with the significant economic, social, and urban challenges entailed, with reliable information and action plans designed in a timely manner. In addition, the initial approximation to the relevant data provided by the document also helps promote an informed debate in the city as well as in the country.
This document was developed in the framework of the Non-reimbursable Technical Cooperation Agreement subscribed between CAF and Sedeco, whose objective is to build a policy proposal for a sustainable urban transformation of Mexico City, by means of an open dialogue with all the actors of society.
Thus, CAF supports the institutional development of its member countries through programs and projects that promote productive transformation and diversification, entrepreneurship and innovation, and generation of employment and knowledge that copies successful experiences and impacts on the development of public policies.
