Abstract: At its core, the concept of sustainable development refers to reconciling “development” and “environment” (McGranahan and Satterthwaite, 2003). Development, ie meeting people's needs, requires the use of resources and involves the generation of waste. The environment has finite resources, which impose limits on the ability of ecosystems to absorb or decompose waste or make it harmless on a local, regional and global scale. Basically, urban sustainability has been defined in various ways, with different criteria and emphasis, but its goal should be to promote and enable the long-term well-being of people and the planet, through the efficient use of natural resources and waste production in a region. of the city, simultaneously improving the capacity for life, through social facilities, economic opportunities and health, so that it can better fit into the capacities of local, regional and global ecosystems. In our study we critically observe strategies to analyze the buildings quality requirements and the links between environment, investments and buildings time frame. Methods dedicated to establishing procedures to evaluate the buildings evolution through time represent key features to maintaining good relations between elements and the environment.

Abstract: The number of destroyed cities in Iraq has increased significantly over the last five years. It presents a negative impact on the country's economy on the one hand and on the environment on the other. Reconstruction of these cities requires substantial capital to provide building materials needed for reconstruction and this leads to depletion of natural resources. This paper aims at finding an effective management method that contributes to the investment of the remnants of the components of destroyed buildings, including reinforcing steel, using the building information modelling (BIM) technique. The results showed that the amount of steel reinforcement that can be obtained from the destroyed buildings is enormous. Therefore, these quantities must be addressed through reusing or recycling. The sale of these quantities as recycling materials can provide a large income which can be added to the capital of the project.

Abstract: Public private partnerships (PPP) consider interaction on mutually beneficial terms of the state and private entrepreneurship (as a form of business) for solving socially significant tasks. Different specialists consider PPP in different ways. In the field of information technology services in construction the basis for PPP is the following: ● The parties to such a partnership are the state and private business; ● the interaction of the parties is enshrined on an official legal contractual basis, it is of an equal nature and clearly expressed social orientation; ● the parties consolidate resources and deposits, allocate financial risks, costs and expected results in strictly defined proportions between the parties in the concluded contracts beforehand on the basis of PPP. The success of PPP objectives is facilitated by: ● political will; ● regulatory framework; ● the emergence of projects that encourage private business to create opportunities for their implementation. The article deals with visual-figurative (infographic) modeling, which facilitates the decisions adoption at the stage of interaction formation between the parties of PPP.

Abstract: The article deals with the competitive environment assessment in the investment and construction complex and specifics of the contract system implementation in the procurement of goods, works and services provided for state and municipal institutions. Being a key element in the state construction order implementation and assessing the level of competitiveness of the investment and construction complex enterprises, the contractual bidding mechanism acts as the basis for competitive relations, simultaneously legislating the main price criteria for the selection of contractors, which do not allow to objectively evaluate the applicants' ability to fulfill the conditions of the concluded contract in full.

Abstract: The article deals with the urban environment key aspects and the fixed assets reproduction on the system level, analyses the results achieved in the course of the state policy, proposes a conceptual model for the urban environment objects expanded the reproduction management.

Abstract: Cities in Russia including St. Petersburg lack of social housing. The state measures involving financial budget support to families have appeared ineffective to solve the problem. Currently, over 170 thousand families in St. Petersburg need to improve their housing conditions. The paper considers alternative financial resources of social housing construction. The paper analyzes the first experience of rental housing, constructed due to budget finances. The social housing construction with private investment resources is proven. The authors suggest the way how regional authorities can effectively stimulate private investors to construct social rental blocks of flats.

Abstract: Components of constantly renewed cycle of formation the investment on maintaining of productivity fixed assets of production and a mechanism of ensuring the environmental and economic efficiency during exploitation of iron ore deposit is substantiated. The methodic fundamentals in investing of expanded reproduction of fixed assets on the mining enterprise for increasing the completeness of using the operational stocks of ore raw materials have been developed. The possibility and advisability of investing in reproduction of fixed assets due to additional revenue from the sale of products made from rich ore are proved, which creates a profitable conditions for processing low-grade ore stocks. It is achieved through the expanded reproduction of fixed assets, that is able to maintain the pit capacity depending on the degree and time of its deepening. On the example of Poltava MPP it is estimated the possibility of industrial complexes to accumulate profits from operations for the extended reproduction of fixed assets. It is proved that the plant will be able to allocate the necessary investment funds if mineral ore reserves is processed with a reduction of its quality.

Abstract: Factors influencing the volumes of investments in spoil banks reclamation are considered. Using goal hierarchy, all possible types of investors are analyzed, as well as their goals when obtaining licenses for the development of man-made deposits. On the example of Lvov basin spoil banks, four types of investors are systematized and different priorities of goals are assessed, the environmental criterion always being the first priority. It is made to prevent environmental catastrophe while developing man-made deposits in the region. Using the matrix of pair comparison, it is proved that the state or community is the optimal investor in developing man-made deposits. Both foreign investor and the spoil-bank owner can be on the second place after the state depending on the priority of profitability or social problems of the area.

Abstract: The analysis of possible ways of increasing motivation and enterprises stimulation to labor conditions improvement is conducted. The mechanism of increasing motivation by means of changing the current legislation on labor protection is suggested.

Abstract: Methodical approach to assessing the investment programs of capital construction of technological facilities is suggested. It takes into account the specifics of the mining and processing enterprises. The ability to use borrowed funds as a source of financing is considered. The investment schedule of commissioning the crushing and shifting point is formed. It reflects the cash flows of the bank and mining and processing enterprise. Program of implementation of the investment projects is developed. It consists of four stages: the first stage – preparatory works; the second stage – beginning of construction works; the third stage – commissioning of the technological object, which gives the opportunity to profit before the appointed time; the fourth stage – commissioning technological object at full capacity, credit payment. Options of advance credit repayment are examined.
