Abstract
The aim of this article is to represent in the systematic manner the conceptual approaches and methods of economic analysis for practice of realizing the idea of green cities in Siberia with purpose for solving problems concerning decarbonisation of Russian economy. Critical review of actual tendencies provides five conceptual approaches - low-carbon development, carbon neutrality, “net zero”, deep decapbonisation and ‘zero’ carbon development. In correspondence with these concepts there are elaborated new modes of spatial development - green cites, eco-villages, sustainable agglomerations, etc. Project analysis appears to be in demand for proper economic evaluation of ecological consequences for development of such areas, e.g. eco-village in Olkhon island and “green” city Baykalsk in Siberia.
