Resource potential and economy of urban agglomerations: problems of effective management
Abstract. Introduction. The research is mainly devoted to finding the effective mechanisms to manage the development of the urban agglomerations economy and increase its efficiency. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the role of urban agglomerations in the regional development of the national economy, to analyze economic and social impacts of their resources inefficient usage, to identify gaps in existing mechanism of urban agglomerations state economic management, and to reason directions of its improvement. Results. In the article the role of urban agglomerations in the regional development of Ukraine is revealed and the parts of urban agglomerations management mechanism as a single economic complex are shown. Also, the causes and effects of common resources inefficient usage are analyzed. The proposals to improve the state management of the metropolitan area economy are justified. Conclusion. As far as urban agglomerations realize consolidative economic, social and technological functions in the state, it is important to manage their cumulative resources and potential in a special way. State regulations should be directed on solving main municipal problems of big cities in order to strengthen their growth potential and reduce negative impacts on environment. Common priorities to each agglomeration’s development should also be defined in further studies.
