The article is devoted to the theoretical foundations of urban land use development and the evolution of its scientific concepts in both global and domestic practice. The essence, content, and structural elements of urban land use are defined, and its role in ensuring sustainable urban development, improving the efficiency of land resource utilization, and forming a comfortable urban environment is revealed. The main scientific approaches to interpreting the concept of “urban land use” in Ukrainian and foreign academic literature are analyzed, including economic-geographical, socio-ecological, spatial-planning, and systemic approaches. Classical models of urban spatial organization – concentric zones, sectoral, and multiple nuclei – are examined as the foundation for analyzing the functional structure of urban territories. The economic theory of land rent, which formalized the relationship between land value, distance from the city center, and intensity of land use, as well as socio-urban and critical approaches that highlighted the influence of social and political factors on urban space formation, are explored. Modern research directions are represented by theories of agglomeration effects, models of complex urban systems, and the development of GIS- and agent-based approaches that enable the modeling of spatial transformation scenarios. Thus, the study presents the evolution of scientific views on urban territory development – from the concepts of rational land use to contemporary models of sustainable urban development that integrate ecological, socio-economic, and technological factors. Particular attention is paid to modern Ukrainian studies that combine geoinformation technologies, satellite monitoring, legal and ecological-economic modeling of land use. The introduction of the National Urban Cadastre is highlighted as a tool for digital territorial management and spatial data integration. The article substantiates the relevance of an integrated approach to the analysis of urban land use, combining economic, social, legal, and environmental aspects aimed at ensuring sustainable, polycentric, and climate-resilient development of Ukrainian cities.
