摘要：A critical review of urban planning scientific aspects of the study of the globalization of settlement systems, including the impact of cross-border and transcontinental links on global urban and interethnic integration and communication processes, is presented. A brief description of the evolution of antagonistic urban planning concepts of studying the trends in the organization and development of macro-regional and global forms of settlement, their interrelationships, and interdependencies, as well as an analysis of the impact of these concepts on the formation of global communication relations, is given. Urban planning is defined as an interdisciplinary science of complex forecasting and planning of world settlement systems and their elements. The interrelation of the seven “principles–compromises” as urban planning principles of ensuring a sustainable balance in the interests of present and future generations is presented. Two urban planning methods of conflict resolution within the framework of the problem under consideration are proposed, based on the modeling of territories of partnership relations and the formation of global settlement based on the development of the uniqueness of territories.
