Summary/Abstract: The present study proposes an in-depth analysis of a greening project as an integral part of the International Eco-Cities Innovative System "New World," whose main feature and purpose is the realisation of a bold idea in the future/ecological urban areas that the organisers of this project want to build in Russia's abandoned cities and villages. With the implementation of this initiative, the Russian Federation follows in the footsteps of developed countries such as the United States, the United Arab Emirates, China, and Germany. This paper additionally examines the reasons, characteristics, and goals of this bold project, which includes the European Green Pact in developing post-Soviet Russia's progress, with the most important aspect being the instability of the surrounding environment across the Russian Federation's territory. This feature necessitated implementing innovative measures to aid in environmental conservation on the Russian Federation's territory. Furthermore, throughout this paper, I will outline the initial steps towards implementing the "New World" project, which aims to alleviate environmental concerns in post-Soviet Russia. For ages, Russia has been dealing with severe environmental issues that hurt both the environment and the health of the people who live on Russian Federation territory. All these negative impacts demonstrate that life expectancy in Russia is significantly shorter than the average for a developing country. These negative features were also emphasised by the Russian authorities' "de-ecologization" program, which stated that investing in environmental problems necessitated finding remedies to prevent their proliferation. The study has a theoretical framework, intending to define the notions of sustainable cities. Finally, I demonstrated that this audacious project, whose primary goal is to clean up Russia's green regions and which employs cutting-edge technology to put these environmental greening ideas into action, is the best approach for saving the environment.
