The article analyzes the theoretical foundations of the concept of sustainable mobility within the framework of its three key components. It shows that the problem of transport sustainability is holistic and interdisciplinary and is considered within environmental, urbanistic and transport approaches that complement each other and offer conceptually close solutions for modern urban development. The article discusses the main directions of sustainable mobility, laid down in strategic planning documents of foreign countries. The paper also provides examples of the implementation of the principles of sustainable mobility in the strategies of socio-economic development of Russia’s cities and regions developed by the authors. Population surveys conducted by the authors in Russian cities as part of the development of these strategic planning documents show that about 95% of the population prefer sustainable transport policy tools that have proven themselves useful in many cities around the world. The analysis concludes with the recommendations for Russia's transition to the «sustainable transport» paradigm.

The main components of the processes of socio-economic development of society are presented, as understood by leading scientists — economists and practitioners in foreign countries and in Russia during the late XIX, XX and first twenty years of the XXI century. The necessity of the continuity of a reasonable theory with progressive practice in the selection and justification of the components in the processes of socio-economic development is substantiated. The structure of systemically substantiated elements of economic processes that ensure the satisfaction of the vital needs of the population has been formed. The results of an economic analysis of the interaction and effectiveness of the constituent processes of human activity and the satisfaction of their needs are presented. The necessity of realizing the theoretical postulate of A. Marshall on the impact on productive labor and economic efficiency of the full satisfaction of the needs of workers and members of their families, regardless of ownership, is substantiated. The processes of interaction between employers and workers in the socio-economic development of the country for the systemic continuity of theory and practice are visualized. The organizational and technological priorities of the cluster organization of production with low-waste, non-waste and fuel and energy-saving technologies are substantiated.

The article substantiates the theses: firstly, the world economy in all its aspects, including GDP production, world trade turnover, monetary and financial sphere, has been in a fairly stable and global crisis for the last 20 years; secondly, one of the main reasons for all this is the crisis of modern economic theory. According to the author, the conceptual foundations of socio-economic development, which remain the basis of modern economic practice, do not correspond to the latter not only at the global level, but even at the level of the United States and other Western countries. In this regard, according to the author, the urgent task of our time is the development of new theoretical approaches to socio-economic development, and on a country-by-country basis.

The adoption of the Strategy for the Spatial Development of the Russian Federation marked a new stage in the development of the practice of territorial strategizing. However, the lack of terminological clarity is one of the factors limiting the potential of this institution. Thus, the sustainability of socio-economic development, which is somehow present as the main goal in most territorial strategies, raises a number of questions. Taking into account the accumulated domestic and world experience, there are several interpretations of this concept: sustainability as stable rates of economic growth; sustainability as a concept developed at the UNO, requiring a balanced account of the environmental, social and economic components of social development; resistance to counteraction to various challenges and shocks. This article attempts to outline the main problems that arise due to the lack of clarity in the “dilution” of these concepts. In the world scientific literature and practice, the territorial potential for resilience to disasters has long been described by the concept of “resilience”, the content of which is considered in the paper.

The main task that determines the effective functioning of the country is the formation of a strategy for its socio-economic development based on a long-term innovation strategy. An innovative development strategy of the country is defined as a fundamental, basic element of the overall strategy of socio-economic development. The purpose of the article is to develop the conceptual foundations for shaping the country's socio-economic development strategy in modern conditions, adjusting the priority directions of the strategy and the peculiarities in using the means of achieving the goals, taking into account European experience. The article examines the European practice of developing and implementing the strategy of socio-economic development of the country as the most important instrument of the state's influence on social and economic development. Recommendations on the use of advanced strategic planning tools are developed. It is proved that without the scientific and methodological support of the plan of socio-economic development of the country it is impossible to count on the successful solution of important tasks and the democratization of public relations. The concept of strategy formation is designed to take into account the interests of economic entities and territory and to cover not only the traditionally used sectoral aspect of development, but also the territorial, which includes the creation and development of clusters and special economic zones. European experience shows that transition of a country to an innovative socially oriented type of development requires an increase in the efficiency of the state strategic planning process, the achievement of which is possible only with the co-ordinated activity of state authorities, business structures, science and society. It should be emphasized that in the prevailing conditions there is a need to form a single integrated system of social and economic development planning that optimally combines both the use of strategic planning and the program-target method for solving urgent problems.

Demographic crisis remains one of the main challenges to socio-economic development of Russia. The COVID–19 pandemic has aggravated preconditions for a possible recovery from depopulation. The present article substantiates the need to develop and approve the RF social doctrine upon completion of national projects in 2018–2024. The authors suggest their own approach to overcoming the socio-demographic crisis with regard to the long-term demographic dynamics in Russia. Various scenarios of the “post-coronavirus” future of both specific countries and the world as a whole are proposed.

The review examines the results of the December 2020 official census of the population of China, the most populous country in the world. It is noted that the Chinese government is seriously concerned about the low rate of population growth. The authorities fear that a slowdown in population growth and its aging while the size of the labour force is decreasing may seriously slow down economic growth. The opinions and statements of analysts on the prospects of the demographic situation in China in the context of its socio-economic development are presented.
