According to the RAACS urban planning principles, it is proposed to evaluate the level of comfortable and safe urban environment, based on a new methodological approach - technologies compatible with the biosphere - and a quantitative evaluation of the implementation of the city functions for each inhabitant. Among the functions of the city in the present work are considered: life support, providing entertainment and recreation, creating conditions for power, mercy, learning, realizing creative needs, strengthening ties with nature. As indicators that quantitatively reflect the level of implementation of the functions of the city and its components, it is proposed to introduce a system of quality indicators for the planning and design decisions of the territories of the urban districts. Using the vectorial representation of the current state of the system in this paper, we developed a methodology to assess the level of comfort and viability of the life support processes in a residential and neighborhood districts. The numerical implementation of the methodology for assessing the level of comfort is made for the component "Housing", which plays a fundamental role in a cardinal increase in the comfort of the urban environment.
