This paper presents the experience and some results in the incorporation of the concept of ambience in the studies and intervention projects aimed at environmental policies within CETESB, Environmental Company of São Paulo State. The environmental impact studies have shown, in general, a fragmented approach of human beings and their actions. These studies do not give visibility to the lives of people and their interaction with their biophysical environment and the methodologies that have emerged reinforce an analytical fragmentation of reality which in turn requires a new look. And the notion of ambience has allowed a new look, because it leads to the comprehension of these multiple dimensions that can not be separated, which confers this notion on a fundamental articulate power to understand the city and urban space in these multiple dimensions involved.
