The aim of the article is to develop conceptual foundations for landscape-hydrological planning of urban areas based on comprehensive analysis of the interaction between natural and anthropogenic components of urbanized geosystems. The research methodology is based on systematic analysis and systematization of scientific publications on landscape-hydrological planning of urbanized territories published in the period 2001–2024 in leading international journals. Methods of system analysis for developing conceptual models, geosystem approach for structuring landscapehydrological connections, spatial analysis methods and GIS modeling for justifying planning decisions were used. The theoretical foundation includes concepts of landscape ecology by C. Troll, hydrological theories of runoff formation by R. Horton, concepts of urbanized systems by J. Forrester, and approaches to spatial planning by P. Geddes. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time a conceptual model of landscape-hydrological connections in urbanized watersheds has been developed, which demonstrates hierarchical organization with specific vertical and horizontal flows of matter and energy modified by anthropogenic factors. For the first time, an integrated system of landscape-hydrological planning has been proposed that combines landscape-hydrological analysis, scenario planning, and an indicator system using GIS technologies and multi-criteria analysis methods. Conclusions. Urbanization leads to cardinal transformation of natural landscape-hydrological systems through increasing areas of impermeable surfaces, changes in water exchange structure, and degradation of natural hydrographic networks. Spatial-temporal transformation occurs gradually from natural state to formation of mature urbanized system with technogenic drainage infrastructure. The integrated system provides a comprehensive approach to water resource management through combination of analytical, planning, and monitoring components.
