The Mexico City Government reported that, after learning the results of the public consultation on the construction of two Utopías , one in the Águilas-Japón Park, in Álvaro Obregón, and another in the Xochimilco Sports Complex, the latter was rejected by the population, so they will look for another place to carry it out.

Yesterday, September 14, the public consultation for the construction of Utopias was held , with the participation of 7,789 people.
