The article deals with the issues of implementation of the decentralization reform in Ukraine. It is proved that a strong capable community can provide decent living standards in its own territory, which today is the main issue of how to unite in order to become successful, satisfied with their own welfare, comfortable and meaningful life. The answers to these questions can be given by the strategy of the development of a united territorial community. It is determined that the development of strategies for the development of united territorial communities is a new phenomenon both in theoretical and practical sense in Ukraine and the necessity of developing strategies for the development of newly formed united territorial communities, which should show the community the way to a decent standard of living, is proved. An important concept in the strategic planning of the united territorial communities is the notion of sustainable development, which is regarded as a development that satisfies the needs of the present, but does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The article states that by this time there is no single definition of the concept of sustainable development. It is shown that strategic planning of socio-economic development should be based on the appropriate legal basis. Despite the absence of a separate law devoted to strategic planning in Ukraine, certain provisions on it are contained in a number of normative and legal acts. The European Union proposes a methodology for strategic planning of the development of united territorial communities that is adapted to the current economic conditions of Ukraine and considers sustainable development and social integration as the main principles of local development. As an example of the Vizirsky United Territorial Community, the process of developing a strategy for the development of the territorial community is considered, and the need for SWOT-analysis, which allows formulating the strategic directions of community development, is shown.
