Abstract

The article analyzes the methods and models of urban agglomerations management in Russia to find effective management models that meet the requirements of the local self-government reform. Under the conditions in contemporary Russia, the models based on inter-municipal cooperation proved to be impracticable, and now it is required to devise new approaches. This study follows data obtained while examining legal framework and practical experience in shaping urban agglomerations in Siberia and the Far East. We conclude that, in the current Russian economic and political situation, urban agglomerations management and development can only be implemented at the state level
