Spatial policy of regional metropolis development in Ukraine: conceptual principles of formation

Summary/Abstract: Concentration of financial, socio-cultural, economic and informational flows of society development in large cities and areas of their influence in the region (regional metropolises), as well as realisation of socially significant functions in modern conditions, are important determinants of the country’s efficient mechanisms of spatial policy development. The authors analyse the basic preconditions and determinants of spatial development of regional metropolitan cities. They explain the necessity of development, as well as the conceptual basis of spatial policy of regional metropolises. The priority areas, strategic priorities and objectives of the spatial policy for the development of regional metropolises as units of concentration of development potential and core elements of economic growth are identified. It has been emphasised that an increase in the economic potential of regional metropolises will not only contribute to the territorial balance of Ukraine, but will also ensure the connection of its regions to global communications and processes through the transfer of development impulses in the surrounding areas and will have a positive impact on the transformation of the economic structure and development of promising new spatial forms of business activity.
