Subject. The article is devoted to the problems of forming a system of institutional norms that ensure an approach to green construction in a megalopolis. Objectives. The purpose is to form a system of regulatory support for green construction in a megalopolis, allowing to solve issues of sustainable development of urban environment, and to effectively integrate environmental standards into the practice of urban planning. Methods. The study employs the problem-structural approach, enabling to identify the key problematic elements of green construction and, on their basis, to propose a set of norms that are the basic element of the institutional structure of green construction management. Results. The paper offers a system of mandatory and voluntary norms that ensure institutional conditions for green construction in modern megalopolises. As a result, green construction acquires normative and legal integrity, various kinds of legal conflicts and contradictions are excluded. Not only the functioning of the ‘prohibitions-permits’ system is ensured, but also social and ethical standards of urban development, forming a new quality of construction work and a new image of urban development. Conclusions. The study offers a hierarchically structured system of norms as the basis for institutional management of green construction development in a megalopolis. The system includes philosophical and ideological, prohibitive, prescriptive, anti-opportunistic, ethical and social, and corporate norms. They form a multi-level system of normative-institutional regulation, enabling implementation of green construction in a metropolis at various levels of the institutional system.
