Municipal territorial management is a classic mechanism of territorial administration, which involves the nomenclature operation of existing engineering and social infrastructure facilities located in a certain area of the municipality. Such a mechanism for managing territories is characterized by relatively low economic returns, due to the limited resources of the administrative apparatus of the municipality and the complexity of the proprietary property structure of the administered territories. These factors together form a situation where municipal authorities provide the process of managing territories with standard measures to maintain urban infrastructure in a functional state, with the priority of stabilizing the socio-economic situation in the territory of the municipality. To optimize the territorial management system at the present stage of development of management mechanisms of territorial administration, comprehensive systems for assessing the development of municipalities are used, a striking example is the urban environment quality index. However, this indicator can also be used to assess the predisposition of municipal territories for the implementation of development projects based on taking into account energy stability, the natural environment and the market situation within a particular city. The article describes a conceptual model for supplementing and improving the existing system for assessing the urban environment in the form of the urban environment quality index, developed by the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the proposed mechanism for modernizing the system is to determine indicators of the stability and potential of the energy system of the municipalities under consideration, as well as their integration into the system for assessing the quality index of the urban environment from the perspective of development design, as well as assessing the development potential of the territory based on ESG-principles.
