In Cancún, municipal authorities have focused on environmental management and administrative efficiency. Mayor Ana Patricia Peralta confirmed that the 2027 budget for sargassum management will remain consistent, supported by a dedicated cabinet that meets weekly with state and federal officials. The city also opened a new Business Service Office to streamline operating licenses for local and large businesses.

Efforts to improve urban infrastructure have expanded to include tactical urbanism. The Municipal Institute of Planning (IMPLAN) launched a pilot program on Avenida Kabah and Avenida Huayacán to test low-cost solutions for traffic flow and cyclist safety, with the potential for permanent infrastructure implementation by 2027.
