Purpose. Substantiation and creation of "green routes" on the territory of the city of Kharkiv in the system of ecological management of urban areas, to meet the demand of the population. Methods. Fields, Greenways criteria, atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results .The scientific and informational basis for creation of "green routes" and suggestions on criteria of their selection have been created. Complex assessment of the state of the environment was carried out to assess the conditions for the construction of "green routes". The results of the chemical analysis of soil samples and the study of the content of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide in the air showed that no sample exceeded the MPC in any sample. Conclusions Based on the proposed criteria and results of the integrated environmental assessment, 8 conventional "green routes" have been identified for the territory of the Kharkiv city, their schemes and descriptions have been prepared. It is recommended to synchro-nize the developed routes with the planning structure of the city and, if possible, make them as an annex to the city master plan.

The increase of humus to the emergence of techno and organosorbtion geochemical barrier in the surface lay-ers of urban soils, which contributes to the consolidation of heavy metals and increases the contrast anomalies. Total content of heavy metals in the surface layer of urban soils confirms deposit pollution geochemical barrier humus layer of the soil. The distribution of heavy metals in soil south-eastern city of Kharkiv indicates a certain level of contamination exceeding the industrial area of residential and sanitary protection for Zn and Pb. Land-scape-geochemical state of the city are promoting priority pollutants on the alkaline and biogeochemical barriers in soil and plants. It can be assumed that a mechanism of self-regulation urban landscape that manifests itself in enhanced feedback and confirmed the existence of the identified features of the urban soils.
