On the question of the use of inter-settlement territories in the structure of urban agglomerations
The article discusses the reasons that contribute to the formation of agglomerations on the territory of the Novosibirsk region, overpopulation of urban areas that make up the agglomerations, as well as the reasons for the decrease in rural inhabited space on the territory of municipalities located within the boundaries of the regions of the region, both within the agglomeration itself and on the territory districts of the region located outside the agglomeration. The results of the influence of urban agglomerations on the state of agricultural lands located within and outside the specified agglomerations are considered. An analogy is drawn between these processes in relation to agricultural lands with lands of the named category located on the territory of the Russian Federation. A possible solution to these problems is proposed, providing for the development of conceptual approaches, including the introduction of phased structural and investment measures.
