Abstract: It is considered that in urban areas, the sources of pollution are also given by the activities carried out by people. Controlling these activities can lead to reduced environmental impact. Human activities produce changes on environmental factors. These changes are both quantitative and qualitative. Given that resources are limited, the way they are allocated influences the development of urban areas. The quality of life in urban areas is influenced by different factors. Also, given the importance of comfort, the article presents an analysis of the size of the living space and the type of housing. Human communities are affected by air pollution. The urban population is more exposed to pollution than the rural one. At the same time, the article highlights the importance of the recycling of municipal waste, as well as the secondary treatment of waste water. The protection of the environment can be achieved through the application of technologies that ensure a sustainable development of urban areas.
