As the part of the study, the depressed economic areas of Odessa, located on the Black Sea coast, formed as a result of various factors: economic, technological, etc. were identified and analyzed. Based on the study of international experience redevelopment of abandoned areas, and to identify “recreational potential” of the city of Odessa, the landscape and recreational function have been selected, which will lead to the increase of green areas in the structure of an urban environment and the improvement of sanitary and hygienic conditions in residential and coastal areas. The principles, models and methods of functional planning organization of landscape and recreational formations in coastal depressed areas were formulated.
