TYPOLOGY OF URBAN DISTRICTS IN THE SYSTEM OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

The article discusses the problems of the municipal structure in the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is to analyze the status and prospects of socio-economic development of urban districts in the system of local self-government. Based on the methods of statistical analysis, a typology of urban districts was performed taking into account their geographical location and the functions performed in the socio-geographical space of the regions. For each type, the characteristic features of spatial development are determined, and the prerequisites and features of ensuring sustainable socio-economic development are also established. The author has proposed ways to improve the management of urban districts in Russia, taking into account the accumulated experience of the post-socialist countries of Europe, especially Poland. Based on the study, adjustments can be made to the fundamental principles of the territorial organization of local self-government.
