Abstract
This paper proposes an urban cluster designed for use in planning of low-carbon cities in Mexico, starting from the methodological basis of environmental design models in buildings such as LEED Neighborhoods, Breeam Communities and Conavi CEV Mexican Code, and from several design strategies of smart planning based on the integration of several land uses, both urban and rural types; where it is proposed (in addition to housing use, commerce use, green areas use, etc.) areas for urban agriculture and urban areas for the generation of alternative and green energy. It is concluded that the design of the cluster can be functional as an urban design pattern and be useful in smart planning of cities and can also be a starting point for planning of rural-cities.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
