The authors propose a number of indicators of green areas and objects of gardening as proxies for sustainable development: closeness of crowns, soil sodification, a protective cover of herbaceous plants, and a one-time recreational load. The article provides a brief explanation on the inability to use some classical indicators, such as species diversity, biomass, etc. on the territories of some settlements.
