Ensuring the right of citizens to favorable natural environment depends, first of all, on compliance with environmental standards in usage of land, water, subsoil and other natural resources in the areas of habitat - cities and other settlements, greening construction processes and rational zoning. Issues of legal protection of urban environment were considered at the UN Stockholm Conference on Human Environment (1972), the UN Habitat III Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (October 17-20, 2016, Kyoto, Ecuador). A new urban planning program was adopted as part of the Habitat-III conference [1]. This study considers main environmental problems in cities were in connection with construction processes. At the same time, we also studied organizational legal measures and scientific-theoretical bases of construction activities. In addition, legal assessment and review of zoning issues, greening of construction processes, benefits of developing “green economy”, introduction of waste-free technologies, as well as construction of energy-efficient buildings and housing was carried out. In the context of achieving goals set by the Concept of the Republic of Uzbekistan on environmental protection till 2030, introduction of environmentally friendly innovative technologies, prevention and reduction of negative impact on the environment, ensuring growth of environmentally oriented economy, “green” standards in construction sphere as well as application of scientific principles are considered essential.
