Abstract

In recent centuries, the number of people living in cities around the world has been graduallyincreasing. UN researchers predict that by 2050, 68 percent of the world’s population will livein cities. The density of construction and new requirements for territorial planning have causedan extraordinary development of social relations related to urban planning. The article analyzesthe criteria for the identification of urban planning law as a separate branch of law. A criticalanalysis of the rigid approach to the division of branches into groups and the criteria to pick outsome particular branch is carried out, it is proven that the only logical criterion to identify somespesific branch of science is the improvement of the process of teaching and conducting scientificresearch. The division of the legal system into separate branches is a convenient methodologicaltool that allows some specific researcher to more clearly define the subject of his own research, structure it and logically combine it with similar studies by other authors. The publicationreasonably argues that the identification of some certain branches as complex ones expands thefield of scientific research and creates a more rational tool for studying the relevant branch oflaw. The author formulates his own scientific position on the nature of urban planning law. Theprevalence of urban planning relations is proven, arguments are given to consider urban planninglaw as a complex legal entity that uses the mechanisms and tools of administrative, land and civillaw. This article is intended for a wide audience of scholars and students interested in issues ofurban law and development. The author believes that urban planning law has its own specialsubject of legal regulation. Urban planning issues are quite widespread. There are special legalinstitutions, there is a qualitative uniqueness (specificity) of the sphere of public relations, thereare specific measures of responsibility.
