In the context of an crisis, the value of the preserved environment as a factor in the stabilization of natural processes will steadily increase. The general tension in urban environmental problems formed based on the location of the settlement, the nature of the industrial impact, the development of the green infrastructure that is part of the ecological framework (EF). In the municipality space, the EF must occupy an area of at least 25% of the territory. The interrelationships of the city and nature in the North conditions have a number of features that distinguish them from cities of other natural zones. Climatic and soil factors, hydrology and relief are among them. High development of industry and low resistance of landscapes to anthropogenic loads characterize urban ecosystems of these territories. Environmental problems of cities will become less acute if a reliable EF is created. We consider the urban EF as a set of ecologically and functionally interconnected territories with vegetation of various types and purposes. The article is devoted to the analysis of the EF basic elements in the Syktyvkar municipality and their status assessment. To form a full-fledged EF in the territory of the municipality under consideration, it is necessary to massively renovate the green spaces in the residential zone, give legal status to urban protected natural areas and form a system of transit “green corridors” connecting them into a single system.
