One of the aims of LSST is to perform a systematic survey of star clusters and star forming regions (SFRs) in our Galaxy. In particular, the observations obtained with LSST will make a big difference in Galactic regions that have been poorly studied in the past, such as the anticenter and the disk beyond the Galactic center, and they will have a strong impact in discovering new distant SFRs. These results can be achieved by exploiting the exquisite depth that will be attained if the wide-fast-deep (WFD) observing strategy of the main survey is also adopted for the Galactic plane, in the g, r, and i filters.
