On a Spatial Development Strategy for Russia

Abstract

Abstract The article offers meaningful innovations aimed at improving the Spatial Development Strategy for Russia. It is noted that the Strategy should be coordinated with other fields of federal socio-economic policy, including scientific, technological, and foreign economic areas. The paper substantiates the importance of multivector (aimed at the development of all macroregions of the country) federal spatial policy and its clearly articulated multiscale character (choosing as its objects territorial units of different scales – macroregions, regions, municipalities) with a significant increase in attention to municipalities (in particular, it is proposed to introduce in the Strategy the concepts of “geostrategic municipality” and “science city”). The paper emphasizes the need to move from the logic of identifying promising centers of economic growth to the consideration of a unified settlement system, mutual influence and interrelations between different types of territories, as well as to the analysis of the agglomeration processes at various scales (from rural agglomerations to the largest urban agglomerations and conurbations) as well as the formation of development axes.
