Green spaces have recently received wide acknowledgement for urban sustainability benefits and are mentioned in the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs Target 11.7. The article aims to address the knowledge gap on indicators used for assessment of green spaces for urban sustainability in the Arctic using an example of Nadym, Russia which is illustrative of compact cities built during the Soviet time using a system of microrayons. Different indicators implemented by international organizations for assessment of green spaces are compared with indicators used in Russia. Utilizing very high-resolution WorldView-3 satellite image and open source data, the quantity and quality of green spaces are estimated with high accuracy. In addition to traditionally used indicators of share of green space per capita, share of public spaces for common use within walking distance to assess availability and accessibility of green spaces, the paper suggests importance of taking into account governance, distribution, and composition using analysis of historic legacies, municipal budget allocation for green space maintenance, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index values. Such detailed view can enrich discussions about green spaces as sources for resilience both at the local and global levels, in comparison with other cities and across countries.

绿色空间最近因城市可持续发展的好处而获得广泛认可，并在可持续发展目标 SDG 的具体目标 11.7 中有所提及。本文旨在通过俄罗斯 Nadym 的例子来解决用于评估北极城市可持续性绿色空间指标的知识差距，该例子说明了在苏联时期使用微人造丝系统建造的紧凑型城市. 国际组织为评估绿地而实施的不同指标与俄罗斯使用的指标进行了比较。利用非常高分辨率的 WorldView-3 卫星图像和开源数据，可以高精度估计绿地的数量和质量。除了传统上使用的人均绿地份额指标、步行距离内公用空间份额来评估绿地的可用性和可达性之外，本文还提出了考虑治理、分布和组成的重要性历史遗产、用于绿地维护的市政预算分配和归一化差异植被指数值。
