FORMATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGGLOMERATIONS IN THE TERRITORIAL PLANNING SYSTEM: WORLD EXPERIENCE

Abstract

The problem of urban construction and development of agglomeration associations is urgent and rapidly growing in the modern world, as cities are becoming key centres of economic, social, and ecological development. Understanding the factors that influence this process is important for sustainable urban planning and development. This study aims to analyse and study the formation of factors influencing the development of agglomeration associations in the system of territorial planning, in particular by researching world experience and analysing relevant literature. The object of the study is the process of development of agglomeration associations, and the subject of the study is the factors that influence this process in the territorial planning system. The methods of literary analysis, statistical data analysis, and comparative analysis were used in this study. The literary analysis made it possible to collect and analyse domestic and foreign sources related to the problem of the development of agglomeration associations. The analysis of statistical data provided an opportunity to confirm and emphasise certain trends in the development of agglomerations. The comparative analysis made it possible to identify differences and common features of the development of agglomerations in different countries. In the course of the study, scientific sources on agglomeration growth and territorial planning were carefully analysed and systematised. A comparative analysis of agglomeration growth in France, Germany, Japan, China, India, and Brazil was conducted, which made it possible to identify common trends and differences. Based on the conducted research, it was established that the development of agglomeration associations is a complex process with various consequences. For the practical implementation of the research results, it is recommended to develop individual approaches to territorial planning and urban development, taking into account the specific factors of each country. It is also important to actively involve the local population in the decision-making process and ensure effective monitoring and control of the sustainable development of agglomeration associations. Keywords: urban construction, territorial planning, town planning, urbanism, development of agglomerations.
