Тенденции в перераспределении муниципальных полномочий в области градостроительной деятельности

Abstract

Changes in federal legislation in 2014 provided the state authorities of the Russian Federation with the opportunity to redistribute municipal powers in the field of urban planning. To date, more than half of the regions have already taken advantage of the granted right, however, both in the scientific literature and in the expert community there are a small number of works devoted to the analysis and evaluation of this issue. The article presents the results of a study of the practices of redistribution of powers between the state authorities of the Russian Federation and local governments in the field of urban planning. As a methodology, a combination of verification methods and elements of system-logical analysis is used to describe and analyse the main characteristics and typical models of the redistribution of municipal powers in the field of urban planning, as well as correlation analysis to study the possible motives for such redistribution. The results confirm the lack of system and discretion of the state authorities in choosing the number of municipalities and municipal powers for redistribution. At the same time, the motive for redistribution, apparently, is their desire to have a greater influence on the administrative procedures associated with the implementation of housing building. All this opens up prospects for further research on this issue and the search for guidelines for meaningful control over the adopted laws on redistribution and rethinking the role of the state authorities of the Russian Federation in the field of urban planning and development.
