Conceptual approaches and applied aspects of spatial and functional analysis of metropolisation processes in the region

Abstract. The features of metropolisation as the dominant tendency of economic space organisation are considered in the article, its objective conditions and factors are defined. Сonceptual approaches to spatial analysis of metropolis processes in the region are generalized. The results of the evaluation of the integral functions of metropolis cities are provided in terms of organizational, administrative, economic, innovative and creative, representative and tourist, cultural, scientific and educational, transport and logistics and socio-demographic structure. Spatial analysis of centro-peripheral interactions in the region, such as the dependence of the adjacent territory on the level of major metropolitan cities, the complexity and diversity of their functional status has been conducted. Priority areas of balanced spatial development policy are proposed.
