These and other factors largely determine its stability and stability. The integrated approach and experience of innovative development of the municipality of the Khimki city district administration can be used in many other regions of our country.


Introduction
Local self-government is carried out in the interests of the entire population of the municipality to improve the quality of its life [3,5,7,9,8,10]. Therefore, the concept of sustainable development for improving the quality of life of people has become an instrument of modern municipal policy [11].
WHO defines the quality of life as "the individual's perception of his position in life in the context of the culture and value system in which the individual lives, and concerning the goals, expectations, standards, and interests of that individual". Thus, the quality of human life is determined not only by economic and social conditions but also by the quality of the environment of his existence. The category of environmental quality is closely related to the concept of sustainable development of territories [1,5,6,8,11].

Materials and Methods
We assume that the sustainable development of the municipality of the Khimki city district administration largely depends on the quality of the living environment of people and their assessment.
To confirm this hypothesis, we used a systematic approach and the following scientific methods, such as observation, analysis, and synthesis, induction and deduction, scientific logic, extrapolation, abstraction, graphic method, as well as research data conducted by the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, which presents the cities of Russia with the highest quality of life.
