LEGAL ISSUES OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE IN URBAN PLANNING

Abstract

The issues of compliance with environmental requirements in the field of urban planning are also the subject of study of legal sciences, and the main purpose of setting such requirements and standards is to provide comfortable living conditions for citizens. Issues of legal protection of urban environment were discussed at the UN Stockholm Conference on Human Environment (1972), the UN Habitat III Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (October 17-20, 2016, Kyoto, Ecuador). A new urban development program was adopted as part of the Habitat III conference. Today, the main environmental problems in cities around the world are considered in connection with the implementation of construction work. At the same time, special attention is paid in the system of legal sciences to the study of organizational and legal measures and the scientific and theoretical basis of the construction work. This article examines the issues of zoning, greening the construction process, the benefits of developing a “green” economy, the introduction of waste-free technologies, as well as the construction of energy-efficient buildings and housing. In addition, the scientific and theoretical basis for the introduction of environmentally friendly innovative technologies in achieving strategic goals in the field of environmental protection, prevention and reduction of negative impact on the environment, ensuring the growth of environmentally oriented economy, application of “green” standards in construction.
