Assessment of the Level of Greenery in Certain Districts of Odesa

Green spaces are an integral part of a modern city. The state of urban green spaces is one of the most pressing environmental issues. The aim of the study was to assess the level of greenery in certain districts of Odesa based on the analysis of available statistical data. The territories of real parks and squares in Odesa districts do not meet WHO recommendations and urban planning standards. A comparative analysis of the green areas of Odesa districts by their quality showed that the best quality of green spaces is observed in Prymorskyi district. The second place is occupied by Kyivskyi district, followed by Khadzhibeyskyi district and the last place is occupied by Peresypskyi district. For urban landscaping, it is very important to select sustainable plants that not only successfully clean polluted air, but are also resistant to noise, dust and gas pollution.
