The article dwell upon the relationship between the legal treatment of green spaces and the powers of local self-government authorities. The authors trace the interconnectedness of legal regulation in these areas and outline possible prospects for the development of Russian laws. The disunity and lack of coordination of the provisions of environmental, natural resource, land, and civil law in the area under consideration was revealed.

In this regard, a new legal solution that will help overcome the fragmentation and disunity that has developed in the law is proposed.
