The analysis of methodological problems of interrelation of the documents of strategic planning of the federal level, developed within the framework of goal-setting according to the sectoral and territorial principles, is directly linked to the issues of settlement. The article considers the norms of the corpus of federal regulatory legal acts adopted within the framework of goal-setting in the process of strategic planning of socio-economic development of territories, which includes the provisions of the norms of the Strategy of Socio-economic Development of the Russian Federation, Federal Law No. 172 “On Strategic Planning”, the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation, the Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation related to the role of local self-government bodies in the implementation of the settlement policy as a factor of socio-economic development of territories. The specifics of the federal policy of territorial development of the regions, which is based on the participation of not only the federal center, but also the state bodies of the regional level of the vertical of power, are revealed. It is argued that the existing “vertical” of public administration does not include an imperative function in relation to the local authorities, which are not assigned the responsibility of developing strategies for the socio-economic development of the municipality. It is determined that, in methodological terms, such consequences should include the need to differentiate measures of state support for municipal territorial entities, regional typologization of settlements when considering budget and urban development policies. The problems related to the legal nature of the federal district in relation to the nature and powers in the field of strategic planning of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are identified. It is argued that the factors influencing the processes of formation and implementation of the state policy of regional development and directly related to the issues of strategic planning include not only the features of the federal structure, geo-political, geo-deterministic, socio-cultural factors, but also a significant difference in the levels of regional socio-economic development and territorial population.
