Abstract
The report presents the author’s teaching experience in Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MGSU) in 2014 – 2017 of a new subject aimed to consolidate the information which is usually «dispersed» between courses of public relations, management, philosophy, sociology, etc. In particular, the author expresses his point of view concerning the most optimal structural organization of a training material for this discipline, considers the most successful, in his opinion, methodical practices, marks some features of the discipline understanding by students and their achieved results in study. Considering the training material provided in the first part of this discipline – «Bases of social regulation», – the author suggests to make the central, «recurrent» problem of the section the question of social planning in urban policy and especially – the social aspects in development and implementation of the smart city concept. In the second part of the discipline – «Public relations» – the author considers reasonable to pay special attention (apart from the general-theoretical communication problems reviewing) to practical questions of establishment of trust relationships between town-planners and social groups similar to different components of a creative class. The author comes to a conclusion that the teaching methods of this subject in construction higher education institutions should create for students an integral view of the democratically understanding processes for social planning in town-planning, inseparably connected with different forms and methods of social communication.

Summary
The new subject – «Bases of social regulation and public relations» was included for the curriculum of second-year MGSU bachelor program degree in «Town planning» (Institute of construction and architecture) in 2014. This action, certainly, should be considered as an understanding by the institute directors the highly complex nature of the town-planner engineer activities, which assuming the consideration of diversiform factors in technical, culturological, social and psychological aspects. The basis for common to all cultural competences is ability to analyze the socially important problems and processes, to understand world outlook and philosophical problems. The student's received knowledge about the way to manage engineering, and social aspects during the town-planning activities, shall promote formation of such important practical competence as knowledge of a complex of the humanitarian, naturalscience and application-oriented disciplines necessary for development of urban policy
