used to analyze the strengths, neutrals and weaknesses of the incorporation of vertical greenery into the architectural design of the urban landscape, which involves a detailed description of the Strength, Neutral sides, and Weaknesses in the design of greening. Contrary to the SWOT analysis, which only describes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the design of an activity, the SNW analysis also describes the neutral aspects of the vertical greenery planting, which neither improves nor harms the appearance of the building and its surroundings. In addition, we used a substantive analysis of the regulations governing the architects, designers and builders: GOST R 55935; GOST R 55528; GOST 28329 " Greening of cities. Terms and definitions", SP 82.13330.2016; GOST R 58875-2020 "Green" standards. Greened and Maintained Roofs of Buildings and Structures. Technical and ecological requirements". The term 'vertical greening' is used quite explicitly in these documents: "vertical greening - landscaping spaces near vertical planes of buildings and structures, fences, arches, pergolas, columns, obelisks, flowerpots and similar elements with climbing, scandent, falling plants, capable of taking a variety of forms in accordance with the surface of the object, the structure of supporting structures for decorative purposes and to protect against overheating, noise and wind"; for roof greening, another definition is used: "roof greening is the use of the roofs of buildings and structures to create architectural and landscape objects on them (lawns, flower beds, gardens, areas with trees and bushes, etc.)". However, in recent years, in scientific articles, vertical gardening is increasingly understood as any type of gardening that does not involve the use of natural soil cover. For example, in the paper by K.O. Mkhitaryan "Typology of forms of vertical greenery in urban environment" (2017), the main types of vertical greening include: "green walls/vertical facades, independent green walls, eco-graffiti, vertical flowerbeds, green roofs and terraces, and components of the near future, or kinetic elements of urban development, vertical green infrastructure, vertical farms". Such classification does not correspond to the normative documents, so professional builders and designers separate vertical and roof gardening, for them make special normative documents, issue Regulations by the authorities in certain cities, for example, Moscow Government Regulation MGSN 1.02-02. 03
