The present work allowed to demonstrate how Low Carbon Development (LCD) strategies have been applied in large Latin American cities, especially on the city of Cali. This work was divided into six chapters from which the theoretical framework and the state of the art of sustainability in local management in urban territories and the inclusion of climate change in local agendas were addressed, as well as the initiatives that in terms of low development carbon, these spaces are advanced. The first part of this document presents the conceptual and analytical framework to address the mitigation strategy called LCD. At the end, this document shows the state of the art of the application of policies, infrastructures and measures of LCD in the main Latin American cities and especially in Santiago de Cali is exposed. From the analysis carried out, it was concluded that a paradigm shift in Latin American cities is necessary to obtain more substantive effects on climate change in each of the sectors of the economy in which its treatment is considered in an integral manner and its interrelations through of flexible analysis processes capable of responding to changing global challenges, considering, in turn, local potentials and challenges.
