Abstract
The article summarizes the main trends in the field of participation of local governments in making urban planning solutions. Based on a review of scientific literature, the author clarifies the term “urban planning solution” and reveals its internal structural contradiction, which allows participants of urban planning relations to invest in it content that is beneficial for themselves. By highlighting two leading directions in urban planning – functional and social, the author seeks to find a common basis that allows us to remove the deep contradictions in the relations between developers and the population that underlie urban conflicts. The author is trying to solve a pressing social and organizational-legal problem, how to harmonize the interests of the main participants in urban planning relations – the population, authorities and developers? To answer this question, the author analyzes the criteria for making urban planning decisions, noting the internal differences between them. The purpose of the article is to develop a procedure for making a socially justified and comprehensive urban planning decision, which will optimize the operation of the criteria for making urban planning decisions and achieve consensus between the main participants. Based on a generalization of the practice of interaction between participants in urban planning relations, the author identifies types of urban planning solutions and substantiates the criteria for their quality. Based on the identified structure for making urban planning solutions, the author identifies the main problem points that separate the positions of the population and local authorities and impede the establishment of harmonious urban planning relations. The main types of urban planning solutions are identified, providing for the participation of local governments, from the list of which construction permits are especially highlighted, and factors influencing the choice of one or another type of urban planning solution are highlighted. The requirement for comprehensiveness in making urban planning solutions is substantiated. The final part presents an algorithm for making an effective urban planning solutions.
