Abstract: An ecological city represents a geographical and social-historic category which has various shapes depending on the different terrestrial regions. It is also called “the town of the future”, being considered by a vast majority of people as an utopia, because of the major criteria which gives it the appellative of “ecological”– the lack of pollution. Nowadays, it is impossible to have zero pollution in a city, but the main purpose is to diminish as much as possible all type of pollution and the natural degradation and disequilibria. The purpose of the paper is to identify and explain those solutions which can promote Iasi as an ecological city. Therefore, we decided upon some main objectives: 1. identify the characteristics of an ecological city; 2. observe and explain the spatial and functional evolution of the city of Iasi; 3. analyze the possibilities for Iasi to become an ecological city; 4. suggest the solutions for Iasi to become an ideal city from an environmental perspective.
