The article investigates the influence of soil conditions on the process of formation and functioning of plant stands of green corridors in the urban environment from the perspective of modern landscape architecture and urban design. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive soil-ecological analysis of urban soils as an important design factor during spatial and compositional planning of green corridors. Methodology. The article uses methods of comparison, generalization, information, system and diagnostic analysis. Results. The article examines in detail the relationship between the state of the soil cover of the urban environment, the choice of plant assortment, and the adaptation of species to urban conditions. Based on the analysis, the application of substantiated modern landscape and architectural solutions is proposed. Examples of practical approaches to soil optimization through raised landing platforms, structural soils, and local reclamation methods are presented to improve the physicochemical and biological properties of urban soils. Scientific novelty. The article substantiates a new comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to planning and landscaping green corridors, which contributes to the formation of a comfortable, aesthetically expressive and ecologically balanced urban space. Practical relevance. The study demonstrates the feasibility of conducting a comprehensive soil and ecological analysis at all stages of green corridor design, which ensures increased environmental sustainability, functional efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and continuity in the structure of the urban environment
