Abstract	The article examines the role of transport modeling in the planning of mass residential development districts within the Saint Petersburg agglomeration. Based on an analysis of the agglomeration’s zonal spatial structure, it is revealed that the most acute transport conflicts arise in the contact zone between the core and the periphery. The study considers the main levels and classifications of transport models, including the Four-Step Model (FSM) and Land-Use and Transport Interaction models (LUTI). The article also compares Russian and foreign experience in their application to urban planning practice. Particular attention is paid to the limitations of implementing transport modeling. The result of this research is the conclusion that transport modeling needs to be normatively enshrined in urban planning practice, which can be used to improve the validity of planning decisions when developing new territories of the agglomeration.
