Abstract
The results of studies of greening areas of Saint Petersburg are presented. Differentiation was carried out by indicators of the area of public parks; the area of public green spaces per 1000 inhabitants; share of the area of public green spaces in the district. According to the ranking results, groups of districts have been identified, which make it possible to assess the relative level of greening of the territory of districts and the availability of large green public spaces for the population. Carrying out a study based on the proposed methodology makes it possible to consider the heterogeneity of the complex development of the city territory by various factors. Approbation of the methodology in the context of the administrative districts of Saint Petersburg made it possible to assess the quality of the urban environment by the level of provision of the population with green areas and to set priorities in the green building strategy. The results obtained can be used as a basis for the formation of standards for urban planning of Saint Petersburg, analytical material for adjusting the investment priorities in green building and the formation of programs for the integrated development of city territories.
