The human activities interfere in environmental processes, causing impacts that must be minimized. It is the task of municipal laws to impose theoretic and practical foundations appropriated to the dimension of local problems. In this sense, the goal of this work was to propose a discussion about the recognition of environmental quality in municipal law, especially in the Municipal Master Plan of Araçatuba, city located in the state of São Paulo. It was possible to observe that in many aspects this law is far away from urban reality.218-251porAraçatuba-SPMunicipal master planUrban environmental qualityenvironmental protectionenvironmental qualityhuman activityquality of lifeurban planningurban policyAracatubaBrazilSao Paulo [Brazil]ArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-848650331782-s2.0-84865033178.pdf
