Abstract:

The paper looks at the problems of strategic planning and management in the Russian Federation. One of these problems is the lack of uniform methodological approaches to preparing documents on strategic planning of territories and to establishing the fields of their strategic development, in particular. The methodological basis of the study includes the theoretical concepts of strategic management, regional and spatial economics. The stages of the strategic planning evolution in Russia and peculiarities in the development (updating) of strategic planning documents of territories are revealed through a combination of methods: dialectic, cause-effect, ranking values of statistical indicators, etc. The authors discuss strategic challenges and objectives for the development of the Russian Federation and emphasize that the mechanisms of strategic planning and strategic management of territorial development need to be applied. The article provides a brief overview of modern studies on new industrial cities, analyses the priorities enshrined in the main strategic planning documents of megacities of the Russian Federation as typical new industrial cities and estimates the competitiveness of Russian million-plus cities. The authors give recommendations on determining the priorities of the socio-economic development strategy, and specifically in the context of new industrialization. We also propose a composition of priority directions of the strategy, their components, as well as a list of indicators of socio-economic development. The theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in the necessity to provide the optimal set of the strategic development priorities, guarantee their effective implementation and organize the strategic control system of territories at various hierarchical levels.
