The concept of regulation itself should take into account both real needs and strategic goals, as well as the possibilities of the tools for its subsequent application. It is obvious that these mechanisms cannot be universal for different territories and political entities, and their functioning requires a developed administrative and legal base. It is worth noting that often local requests are in conflict with global geopolitical tasks, the implementation of which has certain risks and does not guarantee the same success in individual territories. Even in a relatively small area of France, it is difficult to develop equally effective universal regulatory mechanisms. The task of the reform started in the 1980s. in France, there was a process of decentralization of the administrative system in order to develop the most flexible mechanisms of territorial regulation. The changes that followed in the legislation on gradoregulation (Code de l’urbanisme) formed the legal framework of territorial relations, while the direct tools are created in hierarchically coordinated local entities - from region to city. Such a solution is intended to form working mechanisms for regulating the environment with possible consideration of all levels of interests, sometimes overlapping and contradictory. The article discusses the hierarchical system of urban regulation, currently used in France, highlights its strategic objectives, as well as the issues of the direct application of these regulations in practice: • principles for the development of local city regulatory documents and their main characteristics, • composition of town planning documentation, • main tools and features of the application of urban planning documentation. The article also addresses the problems of the functioning of urban planning documentation in the context of complex and controversial issues related to renovation, revalorization of individual territories, and negative public att itudes.town planning regulationenvironmental regulationградостроительное регулированиесредовое регулированиеопыт Франции[Le Schéma de Cohérence Territoriale SCoT Un projet stratégique partagé pour l’aménagement durable d’un territoire Juin 2013.
