Ensuring favorable living conditions of the population and a comfortable urban environment is one of the priority tasks, the solution of which is required in areas of mass residential development. The increasing volume of housing construction causes a proportional increase in the need for social infrastructure facilities. One of the tools for solving this problem can be the improvement of the organizational and economic mechanism of the housing developer's participation in the construction of social infrastructure facilities that ensure the complexity of the development of residential areas of megacities. The criteria for the formation of a list of social infrastructure facilities the construction of which can be assigned to the developer as a social burden, are defined. A list of social infrastructure facilities has been formed, first of all, ensuring the complexity of residential development of megacities, the construction of which can be entrusted to the developer within the framework of social encumbrances. In order to meet the needs for selected social infrastructure facilities: kindergartens, schools and outpatient clinics, the author's methodology for calculating the amount of financial obligations of the developer for the development of social infrastructure facilities has been developed, the results of such calculation are presented. According to the enlarged calculations, the quantitative value of the indicator of the volume of the developer's participation in the construction of the most important social infrastructure facilities affecting the quality of the urban environment will amount to 14311 rubles/sq.m of the total area of apartments. The proposed calculation model can be used as a basis for financial and economic justification of the effectiveness of managerial decision-making in the field of urban planning. As part of the improvement of the organizational and economic mechanism of the developer's participation in the construction of social infrastructure facilities, a proposal has been formulated to create a separate organizational structure – the Social Obligations Fund, which will ensure the accumulation of developers' funds and their fair and efficient distribution in accordance with the order of housing commissioning and within the framework of agreements concluded with developers
