Abstract: The present paper is a review article for the regulatory framework about climate change focus on reduce the gas emissions on the greenhouse effect of the Mexican cities under an urban-architectural perspective, and from this revision the authors propose a guide (ten points) that can be helpful to take in consideration for planning and pre-designing of cities and components, such as urban infrastructure and equipment. Mainly this is a revision of the documents of the different general law of ecological balance and protection of the environment in its section of the environmental impact as well as the revision of the national agreement of climate change based on the same law about the climate change in Mexico; Also the models and methodologies about sustainable of buildings and built actives, would be revised all together with their laws and regulations. It is concluded that in Mexico it is of the utmost importance to reduce environmental impacts caused by building and planning cities from an urban and architectural approach, and what better than from the planning and design phases of urban infrastructure.
