Currently, the city governments of various countries face the urgent issue of adapting the city to climate change. Climate change has become a real threat to urban security. Destructive hurricanes, heavy rains, periods of abnormal temperatures (heat and cold), icy rains and heavy snowfall became more frequent. In addition, the rapid urbanization makes the search for modern solutions to improve urban environment more difficult. The concept of “green city” becomes increasingly popular in the context of global changes in nature and society. Modern megacities place significant emphasis on urban greening as a key component of adaptation for climate change as a necessary condition for comfortable, safe, and healthy living. Moscow takes a leading place in provision of a high rate of green areas per capita among other megacities as reported. Using GIS-based analysis, this paper assessed the distribution of urban green spaces as well as dangerous natural processes (landslides, flooding, and karst-suffusion processes) in Moscow. We showed in one map a high level of heterogeneity in the distribution of natural parks and designed green spaces and spatial distribution of dangerous natural processes. We propose a new scheme to interconnect the existing and future elements of Blu-Green Infrastructure in the single ecological network to minimize the damages of dangerous natural processes. There are three types of design patterns for urban green spaces allocated for geo-environmental safety: conservation, improvement, and redevelopment. New strategy in greenery management is suggested based on the biome concept.
