Пространственное развитие Восточной Сибири: к проблеме строительства новых городов

Abstract

The article reveals the main approaches to the socio-economic and spatial development of regions and proves the need to combine them into an integrated approach to spatial socio-economic development. It is shown that both traditional economic resources and the use of innovations, social, environmental and other resources can act as a development base. The article considers the innovative-informational and natural-resource directions of economic development. The historically established approaches to the development of economic space are highlighted from the standpoint of realizing the advantages of territorial location and development, as well as from the standpoint of realizing the benefits of innovative entrepreneurial activity. Entrepreneurial (economic) activity was chosen as the main driving factor of development. The theory of the economic space development based on the use of economic, social and environmental potential in the general economic field of the region has been substantiated. The author’s concept of isopot is used as a tool for the formation of integration ties in the territory, which determines the transfer of financial, information, resource and other flows within the framework of the implementation of development strategy projects and provides spatial socio-economic planning. The typification of development has been carried out depending on the orientation towards the resource-raw material, industrial-innovative, agrarian-innovative, social-service and communication-logistic components of the potential. The resource-raw material, transport-communication, ecosystem, socio-cultural, innovation-cluster and political-economic (military-political) approaches to the spatial socio-economic development of regions have been determined. The axial, network and cluster placement models for spatial development are considered. The initiative of building new cities of scientific and industrial type in Eastern Siberia is considered. The analysis of this project’s goals, the prerequisites for its appearance is given. The historical trends of changes in the incentives for the construction of new cities are analyzed. The features of the technological specialization of new cities, transport, personnel and financial support are revealed. The main problems of the project are shown. The alternatives to the construction of new cities are considered. The necessary stages of transformation of the state vision of economic development from the economy of slogans and appeals, through an irrational economy to a rational economy, have been investigated
