The article provides an overview of key issues that prevent the sustainable social and economic development of the Russian Federation in a territory. The composition of the issues studied is determined by the current “Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period until 2025”. The author proposes an approach to their classification based on the specifics of the problem area and content, as well as the specificity of the relationship with each other. Particular attention is paid to the study of systemic problems of spatial development of the Russian Federation. The paper proves that the leading and still unresolved systemic problem is a high level of interregional social and economic disparity. The researcher shows that in recent years, regional development has become more balanced, although the differences between macro-regions (federal districts) in terms of the dynamics of economic development still remain. The author concludes that when the problem appears at the subfederal level, the heterogeneity of social and economic development of Russian regions becomes more acute and first of all the researcher points out the “gaps” in the living standards of the population of rural and urban areas. A particular issue is the unbalanced spatial development of large urban agglomerations and the largest urban agglomerations in comparison with other regions and municipalities. The author supposes that in the foreseeable future, the largest urban agglomerations will face the problem of the negative impact of the accelerated development of the economic “core” on balanced territorial development. The paper proves that the insufficient number of points of economic growth in the Russian Federation is largely connected with the low level of comfort of the urban environment in most cities, including large ones and the largest metropolitan areas.

Introduction. Adoption of the national strategy of spatial development in Russia has made it especially relevant to develop a scientifically grounded toolkit for managing spatial economic development at the municipal level. The objective of the study is to investigate the foreign best practices of spatial development and to assess their applicability when controlling the spatial economic development of the municipal districts of the Russian Federation, which are the principal type of municipalities in rural areas. Materials and Methods. The research was based on the comparative method, within the framework of which the best practices of foreign municipalities similar in some respects to the municipal districts of the Russian Federation were systematized. Empirical and theoretical studies, reports and guidance materials of international organizations, associations and foundations of the local level, as well as official websites of municipalities were used as materials for this research. Results. The systematized review of the best practices from the UK, Sweden, Germany, Italy and Slovenia has demonstrated that Russia’s municipal districts can use the following practices for their economic and spatial development: sharefarming, informal spatial planning, flexible transport solutions. Municipal districts can also involve digital technologies for conducting population surveys and collecting data about the municipality, design facilities that increase the attractiveness of the territory, as well use spatial planning to create decentralized concentration in suburbanized areas. The identified practices can be adopted to readjust the directions of the economic and spatial development of municipal districts, taking into account the level and trends of changes in such parameters of the economic space as saturation, coherence and physical basis. Discussion and Conclusion. The development of a municipality does not necessarily have to be aimed at increasing economic and other indicators through attracting investment and wealthy population, as well as through providing other incentives. The alternative objectives of spatial development can be: to maintain the current indicators and the territorial identity of the municipality, as well as to reduce its negative impact on the environmental situation. The results of the study can be used in the practical activities of regional and municipal authorities when developing and implementing strategic planning documents, as well as for further theoretical conceptualization of the process of economic and spatial development of municipalities.

The article criticizes the strategy of spatial development of Russia, legally stated in the government document “The Strategy of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030. A Draft Concept”, released by the Ministry of Economic Development (2016). The author argues that the Strategy only states the existing situation, but does not enumerate a set of measures that are to be undertaken to strengthen the possibility of implementing any development scenario, and does not outline the ways of making assumptions a reality. The paper proves that the postulates of the Soviet settlement doctrine and urban planning theory still deeply impact the contemporary theory and practice of territorial planning.

The paper proposes an approach to the assessment of the financial potential of a region of the Russian Federation on the basis of an economic model including system-processing approach. The article examines the role of regional finance in modern conditions as an important tool to influence the process of maintaining economic growth. The financial capacity may be a fundamental tool in the management of social and economic development of regions, is an indicator of the actual state for the purpose of monitoring and make effective management decisions. The result of the study is to determine the most effective model of assessment of the financial potential of a region in order to ensure sustainable economic development. The article is devoted to the development of a model for assessing the financial potential of the region and the study of its elements. It is proposed to revise the elements that make up the financial potential. The author's interpretation of the conceptual bases of the study presupposes a significant expansion of the boundaries of the financial potential, which determines the systemic and complex research approaches. The authors identified the subjects of the economy that affect the formation and regulation of financial capacity.

The report reflects the research of two-year practice of using such an instrument of development and attracting investments as Advanced Social and Economic Development Areas (ASEDA) in mono-profile municipal entities of the Russian Federation. The study, which employed the data available from open sources, involves an analysis of 36 operating territories with ASEDA status. The territories were classified according to 1) the number of permitted activities, 2) the time period between the moment of obtaining the ASEDA status and the registration of the first resident, 3) tax preferences granted to the registered residents (regions can set rates within the established range, e.g. 0 to 5% income tax). The paper features formats and methods employed by regional and municipal management teams to attract investors. The author describes experience in preparing the necessary regulatory framework and promoting this status. The research reveals the best practices and explains why some ASED areas fail to reach the parameters declared in the applications. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of 102 registered ASED residents has been carried out. Taking into account the experience of already existing ASED in single-industry towns, the author gives a number of proposals on how to increase the efficiency of work within the framework of the ASED status, as well as on making a number of changes to the current regulatory legal acts controlling the establishment of ASED in singleindustry towns.

The article reviews the legal and regulatory framework for strategic planning at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and identifies problems of the used vocabulary. There is no distinction between the concepts of “strategic priorities”, “priorities of social and economic development”, “priorities of social and economic policy”, “directions of development”. The paper analyzed the content of the strategies of social and economic development of constituent entities of the Russian Federation with a view to existence and sequence of basic concepts of the system of goal setting: “mission”, “strategic priorities”, “goal”, “tasks”, “directions of development” as well as approaches to their essence and content. The main approach to the concept “strategic priority of social and economic development” is to identify it with the goal of social and economic development of the constituent entity (60% of the regions use this concept in the strategy of social and economic development). In addition, most part of constituent entities of the Russian Federation determine the goal of social and economic development as the “main” one, the second most popular is the “strategic” goal. It should be noted that in 6 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, no characteristics are attributed to the goal, and in another 18 regions the overall common goal is not identified. Two basic models of goal setting according to the presence of the mission of constituent entities of the Russian Federation are identified: the inside one (the closed one includes 54 constituent entities of the Russian Federation) and the outside one (the open one includes 31 constituent entities of the Russian Federation). The study offers a detailed classification of the models of goal-setting on the basis of the categories of strategic planning used in the strategies of social and economic development of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The author suggests a logically consistent model of goal setting linked to other strategic planning documents, and the main tools for goal achievement. The practical use of study results is presented in the opportunity of their use by strategic planners of the region during the development of the strategy of its social and economic development.

This article analyses the migration and investment activity processes in constituent entities of the Russian Federation located in the Siberian Federal District (SFD). The research was performed on the basis of official statistical data with geographical visual reference. The study was performed in the mono-specialized cities of SFD regions on the basis of official statistics within the context of the creation of Priority Social and Economic Development Areas (PSEDA). A negative migration balance is registered in SFD regions and mono-specialized settlements. Investment activity in SFD territories, their regional potentials and risks were analyzed. Krasnoyarsk Territory, Tomsk Region, Irkutsk Region, Novosibirsk Region, and Kemerovo Region stand out among the SFD regions by their investment activity level and social and economic development. At the current stage of social and economic development, Priority Social and Economic Development Areas can be successfully created in the regions which are the most developed both industrially and innovatively and in the mono-specialized settlements with the most favorable start conditions.
