Sustainable Development Goal 11, basic documents that are the starting point for this research. In the same way, the following evaluation tools were studied: 1. BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method), 2. CASBEE (Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency) y 3. LEED v4.1 (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design). As a complement, a review of a case study called: Evaluation of urban transport and impacts of COVID-19 on mobility of the United Nations ESCAP was also conducted. Methodology. The determination of the proposal of indicators was conducted through a score with criteria of sufficiency, clarity, relevance, and coherence, this was made out by a judgment of experts, who did the analysis and put the score. Results. Proposing a total of sixteen indicators, these were obtained from the approved forty-three that were selected from the initial study of the mentioned bibliography. Conclusions.
