Abstract
Environmental and health problems gain character, magnitude and unpredictability in large cities, as they often do not offer adequate responses even understanding of driven forces and possible actions against the poor knowledge and articulation of the metropolitan unit with its components the municipalities. Thus, two main challenges come together in this project to develop indicators of environmental sustainability and health to the level of a metropolitan area, and to study a metropolis in a systemic way by an analysis of organizational levels. Accordingly, objectives of this research are to develop an array of indicators of environmental sustainability and health and its respective analysis on a wide chain of causes and consequences, adopting an ecosystem approach to the study of phenomena at different holarchic levels in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo providing means of academic collaboration for the management process.
