Abstract (EN): Urban areas are in constant evolution, being inhabited a vast population and occupying large areas. These are places of opportunities, but also large needs, and must have high levels of quality of life, in order to provide a good environment and livability. Urban green areas play different roles in the urban fabric, being an essential element in the enhancement of quality of life. Its aggregation in a coherent and organized network, such as the Urban Green Structure, will increase its role in the city and contribute to quality of life and sustainability. This research aims to evaluate the contribution of the Urban Green Structure to quality of life and sustainability, with the development of a methodology, using endogenous and exogenous indicators to calculate its influence in the quality of life parameters
