Abstract
The co-authors address the relevant issues concerning the need to implement the principle of the biosphere compatibility as the core prerequisite for the symbiotic co-existence of man and nature. Caring treatment of the biosphere, termination of its excessive exploitation, analysis of the ratio between the biospheric potential of specific areas and the needs of their population represent the most relevant problems. Ecological problems are particularly grave in Russia. However, only the new generation of specialists, having the ecological awareness and applying nature preservation techniques to their activities, can meet the challenge. The authors provide the findings of the sociological survey into the state of the human capital in the Russian urban planning industry and propose a set of actions aimed at its improvement.

Summary
The urban population of the Russian Federation totals at about 74%. The first ecological rating of the major Russian cities, compiled in 2012 on the basis of the data covering 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, took account of the following seven criteria: aerial environment, water consumption and quality, waste management, land use, transportation, power consumption, and management of environmental impacts. (The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) “According to the data generated in the course of regular monitoring procedures in 2011, atmospheric contamination remains high in the Russian Federation. The population of the cities, demonstrating high and very high atmospheric contamination, totals at 55.1 million people, or 53% of the urban population of the Russian Federation. The top-priority list comprises 27 cities having the total population of 16.3 million people (in 2010, the blacklist had 36 cities, while in 2009, there were 34 cities on the blacklist).” (Ecological Rating of Russian Cities, 2011-2012)
