Abstract	The article provides a brief overview of park traditions and highlights the main principles of creating a modern multicultural garden. The aim of the work is to justify the stylistic and planning solutions for the improvement project of the Northern Landscape Park in Moscow. The research objectives include developing a layout and selecting plants, taking into account climatic, social, and historical prerequisites. Based on the studied materials, an architectural design proposal was made, along with a justification for the use of individual design elements from the perspective of their semantic symbolism. The work was conducted using an analytical method, based on the principle of a philosophical approach and semantic equivalence. The research results can be useful for students of relevant universities, researchers, landscape design specialists, and Oriental studies scholars.
