URBAN DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIES WITH HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY (USING THE EXAMPLE OF THE ALTAI REPUBLIC)

Choosing the optimal model for urban development of any territory is a prerequisite for building an effective environmental management system. Urban development of pristine areas of nature untouched by economic activity imposes a special responsibility in the preparation of design solutions at any level of urban planning documentation. In this article, using the example of the Altai Republic, a region of high environmental responsibility, the methods of eco–oriented territorial planning and urban planning design are substantiated in order to build an optimal model of the planning framework and achieve sustainable development of the territory. The subject of testing of these methods is the territory of the Gorno-Altaisk agglomeration, the multi-vector development of which makes it possible to establish the cause-and-effect patterns of existing urban planning problems and find effective design solutions. Particular attention in the article is paid to determining the potential opportunities for urban development of the territory under consideration, taking into account environmental restrictions. The options of urban development of the agglomeration territory based on the position of the ecologically acceptable capacity of natural landscapes are considered. Based on the research, a mechanism for the functional planning organization of the agglomeration territory has been developed, taking into account all aspects of environmental management and its environmental regulation.
