Abstract
The need to move on the path of sustainable development is actively discussed in academic and government circles for four decades. During this time the own national concepts and methods of evaluating of the sustainability were created, both in developed and developing countries. In some cases, the number of indicators was calculated by the hundreds. Government authorities began to pay attention to issues of analysis of the sustainability but the problem is that not all the developed techniques are suitable for the practical use due to lack of the sufficient statistical data used in the calculations. It is necessary to highlight the lack of a unified methodology for evaluation of the sustainability that makes it difficult to analyse both global and regional trends and the lack of a systematic approach to the techniques analysis. The concept of sustainable development and its dimensions (economic, ecological and social) are considered in the article. Approaches to evaluating sustainable urban development, particularly at the national level are analysed. The performance indicators, indexes structures of economic, environmental and social dimensions are proposed. Based on the initial data, integral index and the degree of harmonization of sustainable development of ten small towns of Lviv region were calculated.
