Abstract: The urban development, the urban green spaces and the public transportation system must be linked directly in the current context of climate change. We have to take into the consideration that urban ecosystems are dynamic ecosystems that have similar interactions and behaviors as natural ecosystems. Urbanization causes several forms of disturbance, such as alteration, fragmentation and isolation of indigenous habitats, changes of temperature, moisture and edaphic conditions and pollution. As environmental conditions have changed in the last decades, many species have become extinct and new ones have formed. The result of these changes is biological diversity or, biodiversity The urban real state development determines the reduction of parks and green areas and, with this, the rising of pollution. In Romania there is a national plan to improve the quality of the environment by protecting and creating green spaces in urban areas. We consider that a large number of !
measures could be used for sustainable development of the cities and conserve the urban ecosystems.
