Annotation: The article proposes an innovative “three-contour model” of planning for sustainable development (SD) of Russian regions, integrating the adapted Chinese experience of spatial and functional zoning (PLE approach) and based on a system combination: a strategic goal-setting contour (mandatory ESG indicators, differentiated scenarios for risk zones), a contour of technological solutions (“innovative supermarkets” for testing SD solu- tions, small nuclear power plants for energy-efficient infrastructure) and data management circuits (AI-mediated “digital twins” of regions, blockchain registers of ESG reporting). The article analyzes the controversial as- pects of implementing the model, taking into account the territorial specifics, as well as the institutional risks in the context of Russian socio-economic realities. The conclusion is substantiated that the key innovation of the model is to ensure the synergy of spatial analysis of the dynamics of PLE spaces, advanced technological tools and adaptive management mechanisms, which forms the basis for the transition from declarative strategies to a geographically oriented SD and the creation of an objective multi-level assessment index. A structured list of arguments for practical implementation has been proposed: positive aspects are technological leap in monitor- ing and forecasting, and increased management adaptability; while negative ones are institutional inertia, high initial investments, and a shortage of qualified personnel to work with AI and blockchain technologies.
