The 2026 World Cup exposed a challenge that megacities face every day: congestion is not just a transportation issue, but a major economic problem. While Mexico City successfully delivered a complex mobility plan, the tournament highlighted the limits of traditional solutions when real-time conditions change. The lesson is clear: cities cannot build their way out of traffic; they need smarter mobility, better public transport, and data-driven management.
