Modern scientific research in the field of geoecology, urban ecology and urban planning focuses on the issues of geoecological assessment and management of sustainable development of urban systems (urban geosystems). In the article highlights both traditional methods of geoecological assessment, including environmental risk assessment, comparison of MPC and MPL indicators, as well as modern methods such as remote sensing of the Earth (analysis of satellite images) and modeling - multifractal analysis of urban geosystems. In addition, the article uses data from state statistics and environmental monitoring of the city and data from its own field research. It has been established that in order to solve the problems of urban planning and management of territories based on the principles of sustainable development, such a system of geoecological assessment is required that would reflect the degree of development of the structure of urban geosystems, including the deviation of the development of urban geosystems from the optimum in conditions of multicomponent anthropogenic loads and risks of disruption of the sustainable functioning of the urban geosystem. Using the fractal modeling of the impact of anthropogenic factors, data on the deficit or redundancy of their impact were calculated. The advantage of territorial planning and the proposal of measures for the sustainable development of the city of Vidnoye based on fractal analysis consists in justifying of the optimal degree of construction and development of the transport network, in reducing the risk of chaotic sprawl of the city and problems (first of all, congestion of roads and pollution of environmental components), and also in achieving a minimum level of spatial fragmentation of the urban environment.
