World experience shows that in modern conditions urban agglomerations are the most important form of spatial development. This is also evidenced by the experience gained in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Urban agglomerations are characterized by a large internal market, a high level of human capital, a high-quality urban environment, developed infrastructure, innovative potential, and higher entrepreneurial activity. Despite the fact that the Russian regions have already accumulated sufficient experience in the development of agglomerations, the issues of their formation have not yet been resolved at the federal level. This requires finding the optimal balance in the powers of municipalities and public authorities in their management. In the article, the author examines the key issues related to their institutionalization in Russia on the basis of the experience of a number of foreign countries in line with domestic experience. Being a form of inter-municipal cooperation, urban agglomerations are also the object of state management. The author analyzes the main provisions related to the development of urban agglomerations, which are contained in the Strategy of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation until 2025, as well as the Draft Law developed in the Ministry of Economic Development “On Urban Agglomerations”. It is concluded that the development of urban agglomerations is an integral part of a more general process of developing inter-municipal cooperation.

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.

At present, in Russia, the development of urban agglomerations is designated as one of the priorities of the country’s spatial development. At the same time, there is still no common understanding of how many agglomerations there are in Russia, what is their composition; unified approaches to organizing a management system for the development of agglomerations have not been formed either. The main idea of this article is that not only the largest and largest agglomerations (with a population of more than 500 thousand people – they are indicated in the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025), but also agglomerations with a population of less than 500 thousand people. people play an important role in the development of regions and the country as a whole, and therefore require state support and the formation of a management system for their development, which will increase the positive agglomeration effects. The article presents a methodological approach to the analysis and assessment of the main parameters of the development of urban agglomerations (a formula for calculating the indicator of the economic power of an agglomeration and a methodology for assessing the level of socio-economic development of agglomerations). On the basis of this approach, the identification of 10 agglomerations in the European North of Russia has been substantiated. The calculation of the agglomeration development coefficient showed that 9 agglomerations (Apatitskaya, Arkhangelskaya, Vologodskaya, Vorkutinskaya, Kotlasskaya, Petrozavodskaya, Syktyvkarskaya, Ukhtinskaya, Cherepovetskaya) belong to the least developed (emerging or promising), and Murmanskaya – to the category of underdeveloped. Taking into account the analysis of successful foreign and domestic experience, the key elements of the mechanism for managing the development of urban agglomeration are substantiated. The results obtained will be interesting and useful to the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments in the development of management decisions in the implementation of regional and local socio-economic policies, as well as serve as a basis for further research on this topic.

The author studies the problems of socio-economic development of municipalities included in the conditional boundaries of urban agglomerations. When developing the foundations of the state policy of the Russian Federation for the development of local self-government, these issues come to the fore. Their solution is the key to the successful achievement of the goals of national projects and strategic objectives of the spatial development of Russia. The article considers models of management of urban agglomerations, generalizes regional experience on the use of mechanisms of socio-economic development of municipalities within agglomerations, identifies tools that contribute to the integrated development of agglomerations and obstacles that prevent it, substantiates the need to improve federal regulation of the formation and development of agglomerations, preferably in the form of a federal law.

The list of promising centers of economic growth is analyzed according to the “Strategy for the spatial development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025”. The aim of the study was to test the correspondence between the centers of economic growth represented in the strategy and the growth poles of the future digital economy based on artificial intelligence. The theoretical basis of the study was the concept of “growth poles” by F. Perroux with subsequent extensions. To identify the growth poles of the digital economy, the author’s database on telecommunication lines of the Russian Federation and Rosstat data on the population of cities as of January 1, 2019 were used. The author’s algorithm for identifying digital urban agglomerations was used as the research method. It is proposed to identify the leading, driven and potential growth poles of the digital economy. According to the initial hypothesis of the study, all centers of economic growth presented in the strategy are promising, since they fully correspond to the growth poles of the digital economy. An alternative hypothesis of the study was the lack of correspondence between the growth centers in terms of strategy and the identified growth poles of the digital economy. Analysis of the signal delay value in fiber-optic communication lines between 1115 Russian cities made it possible to identify 43 digital urban agglomerations. They represented clusters of cities with ultra-low signal delay from agglomeration centers. These centers were seen as the leading growth poles for Russia’s digital economy. Comparing them with 95 centers of economic growth in terms of strategy made it possible to reject the initial hypothesis as erroneous and accept an alternative hypothesis. This allowed us to come to the conclusion that not all the growth centers listed in the strategy are promising for the development of the digital economy. The driven and potential growth poles of the digital economy are listed. The set of all kinds of growth poles also do not correspond to the set of growth centers by strategy. The ten most problematic centers of economic growth are analyzed. The research results can be used to develop a new strategy for the spatial development of Russia. Seven directions for further research are proposed

The article is devoted to the study of modern theoretical and legal problems of ensuring biological security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The published Draft of Federal law No. 850485-7“On biological security of the Russian Federation”provides an opportunity to take a closer look at the problem of legal provision of biological security in relation to the most vulnerable ecosystems, and, first of all, the Arctic. The article considers the most important features and potential risks of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation of critical importance from the point of view of biological hazards, the features (specificity) of biological safety problems from the point of view of organizational-legal features and, in particular, from the perspective of environmental law. It is proved that, given the special situation of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, in addition to the base Federal law“About biological safety” required a specific law on biological and ecological safety of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, which should be generated on a slightly different model than the draft Federal law «On biological safety”, to wear the most specific, applied nature.

Subject. This article examines the set of economic relations and problems emerging within the spatial development of settlements and constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Objectives. The article aims to develop key indicators and methods for assessing transport accessibility, potential market capacity, taking into account socio-economic characteristics, geographical location and the level of connectivity of areas. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of economic, statistical analysis and synthesis, comparison, and the k-means method. Results. The article proposes a system of cost-benefit equations for economic agents, and criteria, and a methodology for assessing the Transport Accessibility Index. Based on the clustering of Russian subjects by k-means, the article describes four groups of regions by level of transport accessibility. Conclusions and Relevance. The practical use of the approach presented to assess the Transport Accessibility Index will help form the basis for management decisions aimed at improving efficiency in the planning of spatial development and assessing the socio-economic effects of the proposed measures. The developed Transport Accessibility Index should be used as part of the analysis and monitoring of the effectiveness of infrastructure expenditures affecting changes in the transport accessibility of settlements within individual regions (municipalities).
