In the Beginning of the year 1999, major cities in the number of nations have been making efforts to make the concept of 'sustainable development'. Nevertheless, they were poor in presenting detailed methodologies on how to assess and create urban sustainability. This study aims at developing a model to assess urban sustainability. Given the vastness of date to be built the well the time and financial constraints at hand, assessment indicators were chosen with a focus on elements affecting climate change and air pollution at an urban level. The territorial occupation generated by the invasions in the great cities has caused data quest insight to the environment and racketeer influenced directly in the quality of life of the man. In this work it was objectified to investigate the human being social occupation and consequences, having the base the aspects that the index of human development (HDI). The City of Manaus does not present the degree of urban sustainability the final output. Instead, it generates and applies a series of processes and methods of assessment in an urban sustainability perspective. In the process, the development pattern of the city and its negative impact on environment will be understood and appropriate and effective countermeasures will be confirmed. Such a process establishes urban sustainability and may be used the means for us to understand what specific actions we need to take in order to promote urban sustainability.
