Abstract
Agglomeration master planning is used in many foreign countries: for example, Antananarivo-Toamasina conurbation master plan in Madagascar (the TaToM project). The purpose of the study is to describe the practice of master planning for agglomerations in the Russian Federation, to reveal its geography and key development trends. It has been established that as of June 2022, two agglomeration master plans have been developed in Russia, eight are under development and three more are under discussion. The existence of seven strategies / concepts of (spatial) development was also noted. The period of active development of master plans and changes in naming begins in 2018: more and more often the master plan appears in the titles of documents. The geography of master planning for agglomerations in Russia differs from the geography of large and the largest agglomerations of the country: there are examples of master planning for agglomerations in Kamchatka, Sakhalin, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District and Komi. Master planning of cities and agglomerations in Russia is difficult due to the presence of a number of legal problems, the multivariance of terminology and the lack of clear characteristics of the content of such documents. Master plans may have alternatives in the form of an agglomeration socio-economic development strategy and an agglomeration territorial planning scheme, which are also being developed in different agglomerations of Russia. The format of master planning for agglomerations in Russia has a chance of being widely used in planning practice.
