Abstract
Entrepreneurs, as a rule, are one of the significant subjects in the urban agglomeration development. Agglomeration effects create new business opportunities. However, analysis of specific situations does not always confirm these theoretical provisions. The results of the study conducted by the authors in the form of an expert survey to identify the problems and resources of the development of Krasnodar city agglomeration show that the development business is the most active participant and stakeholder in this project. At the same time, companies operating in this area prefer not to take their interests into the public space, but to implement them as part of lobbying activities at the level of regional authorities and municipalities. The interests of entrepreneurs representing other sectors of the economy are latent, and entrepreneurs, being potential beneficiaries of the systemic agglomeration development project, at this stage do not act as an independent entity. Opportunities and risks for most entrepreneurial structures (primarily small and medium-sized businesses) are not aggregated and articulated, which does not allow them to become a driver of agglomeration processes.
Highlights
Business, both big, for example, the largest retailers, as well as small and mediumsized enterprises, is traditionally considered as one of the significant subjects of the development of urban agglomerations and, at the same time, as one of the main stakeholders of agglomeration projects
This problem is relevant for Krasnodar urban agglomeration, on the materials of which we carried out this study
The following factors were decisive for the agglomeration processes: the administrative status of the regional center - makes it possible to obtain economic rent due to the effect of “capitalism” and the attractiveness of urban space for business and the population; intensive inter-municipal exchanges in the activities of industrial and commercial enterprises; daily commuting from suburbs to the regional a center for educational and labor purposes; large-scale residential development of suburban areas and traditionally high entrepreneurial activity for the South of Russia, contributing to the concentration of places for the employment of labor and the location of production
Summary
Both big, for example, the largest retailers, as well as small and mediumsized enterprises, is traditionally considered as one of the significant subjects of the development of urban agglomerations and, at the same time, as one of the main stakeholders of agglomeration projects. Numerous studies conceptualize concentration processes of various types of entrepreneurial activity as a result of the business gravitation towards the cores of agglomerations generating capacious sales markets (Minakir, 2019). The role of entrepreneurial structures as a participant in the processes of modeling and managing the growth of agglomerations has not been sufficiently studied to date. This problem is relevant for Krasnodar urban agglomeration, on the materials of which we carried out this study
