The goal of transforming one of the largest and most populous metropolis in the world in a green, safe and resilient space was one of the highlights during the term of Mr. Marcelo Ebrard as Head of Government of Mexico City between 2006 and 2012. With an area of less than 1 percent of the national territory, Mexico City and its surrounding metropolitan area have more than 22 million people.
