Abstract
Considering the large-scale exacerbation of the global environmental problem in spite of almost thirty-year-long implementation of the Concept of Sustainable Development, it needs further research and justification. The article offers a new vision on the theoretical foundations for the development of such indicators. Based on the concept of noosphere ecosystems developed in previous works, an attempt to qualitatively new substantiation of the goals and directions of planetary development of the entire human population is also made. Only in bringing the mechanisms of nature management closer to natural analogues do the authors see the future trend of implementing the concept of sustainable development. The aim of the article is to establish causal links between the spatial development of mankind and the achievement of a state of sustainable development. Applied implementation of the authors' theoretical ideas in reforming the administrative and territorial system is proposed.

The concept of sustainable development (CSD) launched as a bright hope of the inhabitants of the planet for the harmonization of relations between nature and society, demands further research, primarily because of the "lameness" of many of its theoretical ideas. All these years, following the indicators of sustainable development, which are based on GDP and HDI, humanity has not achieved anything. is becoming clear that for more successful progress towards sustainable development, a new understanding of both a mechanism of exacerbating the global environmental problem [1] and options for its solution, "fixed" in qualitatively different "indicators" is needed
Modern advances in materials science, information and nanotechnology have led to the fact that today there is deliberate omission of the true value of natural resources for the development of the world economy
Summary
The concept of sustainable development (CSD) launched as a bright hope of the inhabitants of the planet for the harmonization of relations between nature and society, demands further research, primarily because of the "lameness" of many of its theoretical ideas. All these years, following the indicators of sustainable development, which are based on GDP (gross domestic product) and HDI (human development index), humanity has not achieved anything. Modern advances in materials science, information and nanotechnology have led to the fact that today there is deliberate omission of the true value of natural resources for the development of the world economy. It is interesting that similar ideas (regarding the reduction of the Earth's mass) are set out in the concept of the ecological footprint of mankind [5], which has been recently considered in the list of indicators of sustainable development [6]
