We examinethe ecological, social, cultural, spatial benefits of urban greening promotionas well as the possible constrains to urban space vegetating. It is shown that the assessment of tree benefits can be important for implementation of sustainable urban development. In turn,appropriate urban greening assessment is also important. The article provides existing urban greening assessment methods and their implementation in real-life practices.Статья показывает важность городского озеленения как одного из средств достижения целей устойчивого городского развития. Авторами представлены экологические, социальные, культурные, пространственные выгоды от развития городского озеленения, а также выделены основные ограничения к развитию озеленения в условиях крупного города. Показано, что оценка экономической выгоды лесов, а также адекватное измерение результатов политики в области озеленения играют важную роль в процессе реализации принципов устойчивого городского развития. Статья представляет существующие методы оценки озеленения и иллюстрирует их внедрение на примерах из российской и зарубежной практики.sustainable urban developmenturban greeninggreen space changeurban challenges and problemsустойчивое городское развитиегородское озеленениеизменение зеленых зонпроблемы и задачи городов1.Brundtland Commission, 1987.
