The paper summarizes the theoretical principles and methodological approaches to the organization of environmental and economic monitoring, evaluates the ability of environmental management to determine the causes of identified environmental changes based on the analysis of the impulsive forces of such changes, ecosystem load, current state and climatic trends of the environment, anthropogenic and natural impacts, the way of the response to such changes. The research about the impact of urbanization processes was made – the impact in global and local dimensions in the context of ecological conflicts because of the uneven development of economic, social and ecological subsystems of the cities, there was also an analysis of the basic cases of the ecological policy of the sustainable development of Ukrainian cities and the conceptual model of the agglomeration attractiveness is described. The definition of the agglomeration urban system was described as a set of nature management institutions at the local community level. The definition of the sustainable development for the agglomeration urban system was improved, which is proposed to be considered as a process of the synergetic integration and the development of the economic, social, natural, physical subsystems that form an urban settlement as a whole regional system, taking into account the need to minimize negative externalities from human activities in this area.
