Integrated development of territories: current state and problems of implementation

Abstract

Resources for territorial development of Russian cities are exhausted in modern conditions of urbanization. The issue of complex development of territories by solving the problems of resettlement of residents from dilapidated and unfit housing, creation of urban space that meets the modern needs of citizens is acute for local governments. One of the modern mechanisms for managing these processes are integrated territorial develop-ment projects. This mechanism has become the flagship of changes in the urban space of large Russian cities in almost half of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The aim of the study is to systematize the main features of the current state and problems of application of integrated territorial development in Russian cities. The analysis in the article reflects the desire of the city authorities to get rid of the old "problematic" development in favor of modern infrastructure blocks, within the boundaries of which all conditions for the comfortable life of citizens will be created. The article is based on the results of the methodological and statistical analysis of the main trends in the complex development of territories. The weak involvement of residents in the decision-making process of complex development of territories leads to social tensions, formation of social and economic risks in the process of transformation of the urban environment.
