Abstract

The article examines the relevance of the management of innovative development of cities and urban agglomerations, as evidenced by the widespread adoption in this area of both international strategic documents and at the national level. To achieve the goal of the strategy "Kazakhstan-2050" to enter the country into the top 30 economically most developed countries of the world by 2050, it is necessary to diversify the country's economy, one of the factors of which is the spatial development of the country, where urbanized territories play a key role. The issues of sustainable urban development and achieving a high level of urbanization are included in the strategic policy documents and plans of the Government of the country. Thus, these priorities are reflected in the Strategic Development Plan of Kazakhstan until 2025, where the main focus of the reform "Strong Regions and Urbanization" is aimed at the development of medium and small cities, the implementation of Smart City projects, the digitalization of urban infrastructure and an increase in the proportion of urban residents to 60% by 2025. This article examines the fundamental works of world regional science, classical and neoclassical urban concepts. During the dissertation work, monographs, scientific papers, and research by domestic and foreign scientists on the specifics of urbanization processes, the impact of urbanization on the socio-economic development of the country, urbanization policy, and improving the management processes of innovative development of cities and urban agglomerations were studied. The achievement of this goal has determined the need to systematize theoretical approaches to determining the essential characteristics of the urbanization process, to reveal the content of the concept of "urbanized territories"; to explore theoretical concepts of patterns and principles of the formation of cities and the urban environment; The practical significance of the study is to develop practical recommendations for the management of innovative development of urbanized territories in Kazakhstan. The results of the study will analyze the problems of the urbanization process in Kazakhstan, identify and analyze the situation concerning the ratio of urbanization and innovative development, develop a mechanism for managing the innovative development of urbanized territories, focused on using the innovative potential of cities and urban agglomerations in areas that provide the greatest return;
