“In the municipality, we focus on solving the problems of the residents,” said López from Urban Development
Through the Secretariat of Urban Development, the administration of Mayor Francisco Azcué reinforces its presence in the neighborhoods with works and services that respond to the requirements of the residents. The optimization of resources and teamwork with neighborhood organizations are the keys to this work.
“Today we are working well and moving forward,” said the Secretary of Urban Development, Alejandro López, in this regard. “When this administration began, the macroeconomic scenario and the cut in resources suffered by the municipalities imposed the challenge of prioritizing expenses and refunctionalizing operational schemes, mainly to guarantee the attention of emergencies,” the official acknowledged.
“But the work carried out by the Mayor and his economic team made it possible to balance the accounts and for resources to reach where they needed to reach, so that we could have the support that areas like ours need when it comes to generating responses and, at the same time, supporting the planned growth of the city,” said López.
“Today we are doubling work shifts for pothole repairs, street repairs, graveling, cleaning tasks, and the recovery of parks and squares. Almost everything we do is achieved by combining the vocation and commitment of municipal workers with the efficient use of resources and active listening to the demands that people raise,” argued the head of Urban Development.
“Perhaps there are fewer resources than before and municipalities have less support from the Nation regarding public infrastructure works, but this does not mean that we are sitting idly by. It is possible to manage without money and we are doing it, with clear priorities, with creativity and new ways of facing the responsibilities we assume; always putting ourselves on the side of the people and working as a team to provide solutions,” said López.
“The Mayor entrusted us to be present in the neighborhoods, to work with the neighborhood associations, to solve the problems that are sometimes solved by filling a pothole, fixing a square, or executing some works that make a difference for families in the neighborhoods,” he also maintained.
“That does not mean that there is no planning or resource management for the large infrastructure works that the city needs. We are also working and managing at that level, so that the reactivation of public works finds us prepared and with defined objectives. But today we are focused on expanding and improving services to solve people's problems,” concluded López.
