Green Design and Sustainable Architecture
The main document for the development of urban territories is the municipal territory development plan. When evaluating the aspects of territory planning and development, great importance are focused on the most beneficial land use as the main object of territory planning and greener development. The use of Latvia's natural capital are related to the sustainable use of land and natural resources, equally developing green production and green consumption, as well as simultaneously creating and maintaining the image of Latvia as a green country. The aim of the study is to evaluate the urban territory development planning in Latvia. The research uses the descriptive research method, so that, based on regulatory acts, scientific findings and real facts, the theoretical and regulatory aspects of urban territory planning are viewed. SWOT analysis and pair comparison methods are used for the evaluation of indicators. The results of the study show that the Jelgava municipality's achievements in promoting the city's development are a modern waste management system that promotes environmental sustainability. The study also revealed the negative aspects that hinder the development of urban areas, i.e. untidy or abandoned former industrial areas and untidy courtyards of apartment buildings. The study concluded that sustainable and balanced national development is the main issue in the development planning documents of urban territories in Latvia. In the direction of the green development of Latvia, it is necessary to work on the prevention of weak aspects, because they slow down the development of urban territories.
