The methodological approaches to compilation of landscape-geochemical maps for urban areas have been developed around cartograph-ic database which systematizes digital maps presenting functional zoning of the study area, its landscape structure and technogenic anomalies of heavy metals. The methods have been tested during GIS landscape-geochemical mapping of Eastern Administrative Okrug of the city of Moscow. A land-scape-geochemical map displaying the differentiation of urban landscapes in terms of conditions for heavy metal accumulation and according to con-tamination levels of soil and snow cover has been designed.
