In the context of national peculiarities of legal and technical regulation, conceptual proposals for the development of the subsurface space of the Drainage channel are analyzed. The purpose of the analysis was to assess compliance with world practice, the General Plan of the city, other documents and documentation of urban planning design, as well as the main legal norms and documents on standardization (Code of Rules “Buildings, structures and complexes underground. Rules of urban planning design”). The analysis was carried out taking into account the areas of improvement of legal and technical regulation. It is concluded that the considered variant of spatial development has a fundamentally new, innovative character and can give significant environmental and social effects.
