Support For Single-Industry Towns As A National Project

Abstract

The state’s interest in supporting and further developing single-industry towns at the federal and regional levels has necessitated the creation of new "growth points", territories of advanced social and economic development (TASED), special economic zones (SEZ), science cities, technology parks, cluster formations in the Russian Federation as well as closed administrative-territorial entities (CATE) and single-industry towns. However, in Russia, this area of the economy does not receive due attention in regards to the creation and development of these territorial entities. The article studies the special economic zones of an industrial-production type (SEZ IPT) and TASEDs as one of the main ways of supporting the development of single-industry towns which are proposed at the state level, also the article considers the need to single out support measures for single-industry towns in one specialized national project. Currently, the territories of TASED aimed at the development of industrial production and SEZ IPT are the most significant and relevant for supporting single-industry towns, therefore, the scientific significance of the given research consists in analyzing the feasibility of the proposed measures to support single-industry towns, integrating them into a complex with the characteristics of a national project. There is a demand for a change in methodological approaches to collecting municipal statistics on single-industry towns and the development of an independent national project aimed at solving the socio-economic problems of single-industry towns.
