The physiological need of each individual, family, and genus, even at the dawn of Civilization, to find and adapt individual spatial niches in the environment for their use as a suitable and necessary living space for a relatively safe existence, gave rise to the nature-transforming spatial and environmental function of Humanity, which still accompanies the processes of its socio-economic development. At the local level, this function is manifested in architectural and construction activities and engineering equipment of objects. At the district, regional and state levels, environmental transformation is carried out through urban planning in the form of territorial planning, urban zoning, planning and land surveying, as well as on the basis of a number of project documents of industrial planning: communication networks for various purposes, plans for forest management, agricultural production, water use plans, irrigation, land reclamation and hydrotechnical arrangement of territories, schemes for the placement of energy and defense infrastructure, other special plans.
Despite the fact that based on the logic of environmental management sectoral development plans related to transformation of the environment must be coordinated among themselves on matters of territorial organization, the parameters and volumes of consumed resources, technical impacts, and integrated assessment of the consequences of their spatial localization in the sustainable biosphere connections needed are science-based, project documents gives a holistic view about the permissibility and feasibility of the planned reforms is not provided.
In this situation, only territorial planning, as part of urban planning project activities, should play an integral role in the design modeling of environmentally possible, cost-effective and socially necessary transformations of biosphere complexes at the local, regional and component-global levels of the natural organization of the Planet.
Thus, urban planning can objectively develop into an effective tool for the social evolution of the biosphere.
