This article is devoted to the study and analysis of various theoretical and practical approaches to understanding and implementing territorial development management in the context of global challenges and transformations of modernity. It encompasses the understanding of the essence of territorial development as a multifactorial, dynamic and complex process that requires effective and adaptive management. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of management concepts — from traditional, linear models to integrated, strategic, “smart”, participatory and sustainable approaches. Factors shaping new management requirements, such as digitalization, decentralization, climate change, demographic shifts, globalization and the need to achieve sustainable development goals, are analyzed. The object of the study is the processes of territorial development management at different levels (local, regional, national). The subject of the study is a set of theoretical and methodological principles, concepts and models of territorial development management, their evolution, features and possibilities of application in modern conditions of Ukraine and the world. The study aims to systematize, analyze, and substantiate the leading conceptual approaches to territorial development management in modern conditions, identify their advantages and disadvantages, and develop recommendations for their integrated and adaptive application to increase the effectiveness of territorial management. The article explores the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of concepts that allow for balanced socio-economic, environmental, and spatial development of territories. It aims to identify the most effective paradigms and management tools that contribute to increasing the competitiveness, sustainability, and well-being of territorial communities in conditions of uncertainty and constant change.
