The article notes the role of urban green spaces in providing a safe and comfortable environment of the industrial centre. The damage caused by anthropogenic impact to different categories of urban green spaces is briefly described. The necessity of using GIS-technologies and digital cartographic support to gather and analyze information about urban green spaces is stated. To solve this problem a new type of cartographic products – digital greening plans – is proposed and described in detail. Classification of digital greening plans, the cartographic notation, thematic content, main directions of use and target audience are considered. Fragments of digital greening plans depicted the experimental work area in Novosibirsk are given. Conclusion about the advantages of digital greening plans compared to related types of cartographic products is made.

The main provisions of using GIS technologies for the environmental monitoring of urban green spaces (UGS) are described. The main factors of anthropogenic negative impact on the UGS are characterized. The paper considers the necessity of using modern methods of the Earth remote sensing and geospatial mapping for the inventory, assessment, and monitoring of environmental conditions of UGS. The principles of geoinformation modeling of UGS are characterized. The definition of UGS geospatial model is given, the tasks solved with its help are listed, the considered parameters of UGS are provided by the authors. The main stages of UGS geospatial modeling are described. A fragment of digital greening plan of Novosibirsk is presented. The paper concludes about the importance of geospatial modeling and mapping for the effective organization of environmental monitoring of UGS.
