ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE URBAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

The article considers theoretical and practical aspects of environmental project management in the urban management system. The strategic direction of the local government is to improve the quality of the urban environment, including by achieving the maximum level of comfort for the population. One of the key problems of modern urban spaces is a permanent shortage of energy, which requires an increase in relevant production capacity, resulting in an increase in the level of anthropogenic load on the environment. The use of traditional energy sources, on the one hand, serves as a reliable tool for repaying the existing deficit in the urban space, but on the other hand, it generates capacious environmental risks for the population of the territory. In this regard, it is necessary to be in constant search for a balance between the interests of the economic complex and probabilistic environmental risks. Alternative energy sources, among which solar energy stands out first of all, occupy a relevant place in reducing the negative impact on the environment. The use of solar energy based on photovoltaic mechanisms will reduce environmental risks while maintaining a relevant balance of energy consumption for the life support of the urban economy. The paper examines the specifics of implementing the «Territory of Light» project in the municipal management system to create a comfortable urban environment. The studies conducted have shown the socio-economic feasibility of adapting this project, and the positive effects include increasing the comfort of urban space for the population, reducing the energy intensity of the city's economic and business complex, optimizing the use of the financial potential of the local budget, reducing public risks and reducing social tension.
