Abstract: Abstract The study aims to give an answer to the question “Is green economy the key factor in the process of reducing urban pollution in Romania?”. In this respect, the paper focuses on finding the nature of relationship between green economy and urban pollution in territorial profile. Hence, in order to achieve the main scope of the study, it was selected and collected data for variables which characterizes both concepts, green economy and urban pollution. Data allow a spatial statistical analysis due to its disaggregations in territorial profile (cities, development regions), being collected in order to assure completeness and comparability of data. Spatial statistical analysis among Romanian development regions and cities was conducted by using appropriate statistical methods, like: descriptive statistics, Random Forest Model, and K-Means Clustering Method. Results of study show differences in territorial profile from the perspective of relationship between green economy and urban pollution. These differences could be removed by using an integrated plan which aims to deploy green economy in multisectoral profile.
