摘要：The article is devoted to the issues of territorial development, the role of local self-government bodies in ensuring the processes of planning and management of territories, the system of administrative control over territorial development. Territorial development has great state importance. The standard of living and income of the population are directly related to the resource, economic, technological potential of the territories and the system of territory management. Thus, the issue of managing territorial development by improving the efficiency of local governments is relevant. The article considers the main functions of local governments at the territorial level. The functional direction of territorial administration at the level of local self-government is regulated by the legal framework. The system of normative-legal regulation of territorial development processes, functioning of local self-government bodies are described in the article. The role of local governments, public authorities and the private sector in the implementation of territorial management policy and the implementation of a system of control over the adoption and effective implementation of management decisions on territorial development. The practical significance of the results obtained in the article is to determine the role of local governments in the system of territorial development. This is necessary to build a clear hierarchical system of territorial management at the level of local entities, regions, the state as a whole. The system will allow to distribute management functions, effectively monitor and control their implementation by introducing administrative control at different levels of implementation of management decisions.
