Abstract

A new emphasis in the development of urban infrastructure in the global and Russian economy is placed on an innovative environment, the center of which is scientific, technological and industrial clusters. At the same time, the development of economic ties, the generation of investments and other benefits for the megalopolis as a financial and economic center directly depends on the favorable conditions for life in the megalopolis, its development prospects, the availability of points for growth, and how effectively megalopolises and their infrastructure are developing effectively, coping with with demographic, social, transport, infrastructure, environmental and other global challenges of urbanization processes. The development of Moscow is no exception: over the past 100 years, the number of Moscow residents has increased 10 times, and a sharp increase in rapid construction over the past 20 years has led to high building density; over the past 10 years, the population growth has amounted to 1.5 million people; motorization of the population and an increase in commuting from the periphery of the city and neighboring regions have led to a critical load on the transport infrastructure. These problems, in parallel with the absence of a comprehensive/systematic approach to the introduction of innovations in the economic environment of the metropolis, led to a decrease in the economic attractiveness of the city, a decrease in living standards, and, as a result, the threat of a decrease in investment in the future, compared to other metropolitan areas of the world.
