Abstract: Despite the legislative support for global ideas of new urbanism, the current development model of Russian cities continues to adhere to the direction of high-rise microdistrict construction and uncontrolled expansion at the boundaries, leading to the irrational use of land and placing a significant burden on transportation and engineering networks. The research involved the analysis and comparison of various models of urban development as well as methods for assessing the quality of the urban environment. As a result, key factors influencing the creation of a comfortable urban environment were identified, including infrastructure accessibility, environmental sustainability, social equity, and spatial functionality. Based on the obtained data and the experience of other countries, recommendations and solutions for the development of Russian cities were proposed, aimed at optimizing land use, creating more functional and harmonious spaces, and improving the quality of life for urban residents. The research holds practical significance for urban planners, architects, and all stakeholders striving to create a sustainable and comfortable urban environment in Russia.
