Better results and successes have been achieved as for social politics and democratic opening on the part of initiatives of the local government. Seen in the future, the City of Mexico requires renew its role as a brain of national development, at the same time find productive vocations that renew their ability to increase income and employment, based on the absorption and diffusion of advanced technologies. In such tasks, the new Constitution can serve as indispensable incentive, provided that it is translated into programs and joint industrial policies of the local government, the Federation and neighboring States.
