This reform could facilitate the investment of up to 250 billion pesos, equivalent to around 1% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), for the construction of social housing during the administration of Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
If these objectives are achieved, the supply of available affordable housing would be doubled and the regional economy would be triggered by promoting the development of regional projects.
During the celebration of the 3rd Regional Housing Forum, the general director of Infonavit, Carlos Martínez Velázquez, stated that in addition to this reform, various avant-garde initiatives are being considered with the aim of solving the different problems facing housing, such as informality and climate change.
“In addition to providing more options and flexibility to build a patrimony and meet the demand for housing derived from nearshoring, an additional benefit of the reform is that it will promote access to formality, since it will facilitate the access of workers to housing,” he said.

He stressed that the current administration supported self-production and prioritized location to guarantee the population’s access to basic services and education, health and employment at a maximum distance of 2.5 kilometers.
For his part, the head of the Secretariat of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (Sedatu), Román Meyer Falcón, assured that it is through the updating of urban plans that the housing gap and inequalities in the territory are addressed fairly; in this six-year period -he said- 300 plans have been updated (four regional, eight state, 268 municipal and 20 metropolitan), with an investment of 321 million pesos, and 1,437 mobility, infrastructure and services projects have been defined.
“Examples of the positive effects of urban planning are the areas where the Maya Train, the Tehuantepec Isthmus Corridor and the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) were developed; these tools defined where urbanization is and is not possible; the objective is to preserve land use in a responsible and sustainable manner, and reserves are contemplated for well-located and affordable housing,” he said.
