Innovative Principles of Urban Greening: Adaptation to Climate Change and Biodiversity Conservation

Abstract

This article explores current approaches to urban greening under increasing anthropogenic pressure and climate change. Using the case of Ivano-Frankivsk, it analyzes the impact of rising annual temperatures, droughts, air pollution, and soil compaction on the resilience of traditional plant species. Special attention is given to the problem of invasive and allergenic species, their ecological effects, and the unsuitability of their use in modern urban landscapes. The article presents criteria for selecting adaptive, pollution-tolerant, and stress-resistant plants, as well as the prospects for implementing vertical greening, meadow lawns, phytoremediation filters, and filtering trees. Recommendations are summarized for developing a scientifically grounded greening strategy that enhances urban environmental resilience and preserves biodiversity.
