This paper aims to compare the spatial policies and their actions towards the urban areas of environmental protection in two cities, Sao Paulo (Brazil) and Mumbai (India), taking as an organizing element the presence of urban forests in the form of protected conservation areas (Category II , IUCN).Sartori (1981) highlighting similarities and differences is a simple, effective and interesting method to comparative public policies, emphasizing that these elements may be part of local discourse. With this emphasis, we attempt to analyze the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Cantareira State Park and highlight the factors chosen for comparison: the conversion of forest to urban conservation areas and territorial cons icts between environmental and urban uses. We conclude the article with the analysis of policy strategies.
