Assessment of Environmental Components in Municipal Development Strategies

Abstract

The solution of environmental problems in territorial development deserves special attention both at the federal and regional levels. The national strategies for socio-economic development of the Russian Federation address the solution of regional and local environmental problems. In the article, the authors analyze the environmental components in the Municipal Development Strategies of Samara Region for 2025–2030. The authors note that out of 13 elements of the environmental component, priority is given to maintaining health and solving environmental engineering problems. The solution of such environmental problems as preservation and increase of biological diversity, improvement of the state and expansion of protected areas is minimized. When developing Strategies, the authors suggest turning more attention to the requirements of environmental regulatory documents, legislative acts and decrees on ensuring environmental safety, as well as take into account foreign experience.
