Geoecological analysis of urban systems is a study aimed at identifying the prerequisites for the emergence of a city, characteristics of the terrain and engineering-geological conditions, assessment of other components of the natural environment, analysis of the load on the environment, determining the scale of transformation processes, obtaining information about the geoecological consequences of the city functioning as a technogenic system, forecasting changes in environmental conditions. The purpose of the analysis is a comprehensive study of city life aspects - its structure, states, functioning, trends of anthropogenic changes to solve management, prognostic and optimization tasks. The geoecological analysis of urban systems is an integral component in comprehensive studies of urban settlements, and its results are the ground for the implementation of the urban ecological monitoring program and optimization of the cities’ functioning. The analysis must be carried out according to an algorithm that combines a range of methods of historical-geoecological reconstructions of the state of city landscapes and their components, territory development and transformation of environmental components with methods of field, laboratory and cartographic studies of the geoecological state of urban systems.
