The Smart Neighborhood Program is one of the civil protections plans of the state of Sinaloa and part of the Municipal Urban Development plan. The program which works in collaboration with civil society associations and socially responsible companies, is implemented by transmitting knowledge on global theoretical framework including treaties and international agreements, as well as national legal techniques and instruments, official Mexican standards, laws, and local, municipal and state pacts.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Smart Neighborhood program focuses specifically on SDG 11 and SDG 13 which is about making cities and communities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable (SDG -11), and adopting urgent measures to combat climate change and its effects (SDG 13). The team works with Environmental Engineers available in the community and uses their expertise to promote sustainable development in Santa
