Traffic and security, the challenges of Mexico City towards the 2026 World Cup

Analysts warn that security and mobility policies should not respond to the situation of an international event, such as the World Cup, but should last for the benefit of the capital's residents.

With less than a year to go until the opening match of the 2026 World Cup at the Estadio Ciudad de México (formerly Estadio Azteca), Mexico's capital faces challenges in ensuring that both domestic and foreign visitors enjoy the soccer party.

One of the challenges is to provide the thousands of visitors with mobility options in the midst of the critical levels of road congestion, rainfall and insufficient public transportation that the capital's residents experience every day.

Added to this is the issue of security both in the vicinity of the stadium, the roads that connect it such as Tlalpan, Viaducto Tlalpan and Periférico, among others, in public transport, as well as in all the alternative events to the Soccer Cup.

Merida was not designed for this type of uncontrolled urban growth

The rapid expansion of real estate developments in Mérida, Mexico has led to a perfect storm of problems, warn local researchers. Without proper planning and regulation, the city’s infrastructure is struggling to keep up with the demands of its growing population.

The consequences of unchecked growth are already being felt in Mérida. Water shortages are a major problem, with many neighborhoods facing restrictions on water usage. The heat is also becoming unbearable, with temperatures often reaching 45 degrees Celsius (113°F) during the summer months.

To address these problems, researchers are calling for greater regulation and oversight of real estate development in Mérida. They argue that the current system is flawed, allowing developers to build without proper permits or regard for the needs of existing residents.
