Emilia Sofeska INTRODUCTION Sustainability is contemporary and current topic in the world and the interest to explore in this area is warranted. Sustainable global politics today clearly outlines its goals for recycling sustainable development that will include saving energy and resources, and towns will only be recoverable, recyclable and maintain. The three basic principles of sustainable development: internal generational equity, inter-generational equity and trans-border liability. These are principles that have profound international political dimension. Internal generational equity is mean of tackling poverty, which is one of the primary causes of degradation and distortion of space and sustainability would mean equal distribution of resources according to the common needs of all. Principle or inter-generational equity recalls that when we undertaking any activity in the space we should be responsible for future generations and their needs. Finally the principle of trans-border responsibility actually means global environmental responsibility through the treatment of resources, climate change, pollution etc. The global objectives of sustainability, in large part, are related to sustainable urban planning, because 40% of the world population lives in cities. Cities as complex and multilayer systems are part of a sustainable policy, because they are huge consumers of resources and show clear signs of unsustainable behavior. Particularly alarming is the situation in big cities with huge population, which pushing cities in condition or self- I I destructive. Researchers and planners are therefore encouraged to think about the city that will focus on self-regulation. Therefore challenge for this research. Today it is unthinkable to plan the development of a state and society without implementing the concepts of sustainability both in socio-economic terms, but also in social terms. An important part there covers urban development which without society cannot function. Cities around the world today are faced with intense degradation, pollution, overpopulation, etc. Sustainable development refers to the environmental, economic and sociological processes in the city and its physical structure. This research paper explores the relationship between urban development and sustainable development through the relevant factors and indicators in the methodology of sustainable urban planning. The knowledge obtained should help considers and methods for encourage sustainable urban planning thought in the Republic of Macedonia. The modern city is an ecological phenomenon of the 21st century in which reality tends towards unsustainability. The basic idea of this research is the challenge to encourage sustainable development in cities that are growing faster today than ever, as well as encourage of responsibility and commitment to humanity in general. The subject of this research is implementation of sustainable concepts and how they affect the methodology of urban planning. In this sense, the focus is on identifying the indicators and factors relevant to sustainable development where the aim is to systematize the concepts of sustainable urban development and operationalization in urban planning documentation and development of the city Skopje. This paper attempts to encourage research and further deepening the methodology of sustainable urban planning. As to the content of this paper, the shaping idea that led me was to cover the most important aspects of urban sustainability and development, through the study of existing models and opportunities for urban development, resulting from the criteria and indicators defined in international laws and documents for sustainability and methodologies of modern urban planning. The first chapter of this paper in reference to the definition of the elements and stakeholders of sustainable development and sustainability thought. This is accomplished by defining sustainability and chronology of urban development and thought for sustainability of cities through
