Sumario:This article relates the history of planning in the Tierra Caliente region of Michoacán state, which boasts a wealth of important experience in founding and reforming population centers, which were carried out in the mid-20th Century, within the framework of a hydro-agricultural development project. To this end, the institutional and spatial context is described, using historical cartography to present its scope. This article contributes to a subject that has been somewhat ignored, such as the transplantation and tropicalization of modern planning ideas, like the garden city model in the so-called agricultural cities Mexico, which, together with other interventions, transformed this region over a period of just two decades.
