The article analyzes possible elements of competition between neighboring town agglomerations. First of all, the research makes a distinction between the notions of "urban agglomeration" and "agglomeration process" and specifies the "spatial competition" category. This became the methodological foundation for the following hypothesis: closely located agglomeration sharing a common border create conditions for competition because town agglomerations are a certain agglomerated space that objectively tends to expand. The agglomeration of cities is a lengthy process so it is necessary to distinguish the agglomeration process and actual achievement of agglomeration. Previous research indicates that actual competition between town agglomerations is possible if agglomeration have already been formed. Certain types of urban agglomeration have a two-level competition: between the centers of neighboring agglomerations and competition within one agglomeration conurbation having two relatively equal core cities. The novelty of this study is in its approach to competition between Russian town agglomerations basing on spatial competition theory. The aim of the research is to test the hypothesis about the competition between urban agglomeration in the southern part of Western Siberia. The study revealed that that neighboring regions in the southern part of Western Siberia do not have fully formed agglomerations so the competition can be characterized as potential. Kemerovo Oblast demonstrates he biggest progress: it has two core cities and this enables us to adopt the notion of "Kuzbass agglomeration conurbation". Kuzbass conurbation is under pressure from competitive neighboring agglomerations; besides, it shows elements of competition between its core cities, Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk. Negative consequences of competition between bordering agglomerations is possible within the limits of developing macroregions.

The article clarifies the concept of cross-border education and cross-border educational space. The necessity and possibility of creating a cross-border digital educational space of the Eurasian Economic Union is considered. When creating it, it is necessary to overcome the external (high level of the international competition of educational spaces) and internal (uneven level of digitalization in the Union countries, different levels of preparedness) restrictions. For the cross-border space to function successfully, two fundamental tasks must be solved: a common digital platform has been created and a certain level of institutional design of the cross-border educational space has been achieved in each country. A cross-border educational space can be either general or single, therefore, for the Eurasian space, the experience of existing cross-border educational spaces must be used taking into account the realities of the economic and social development of the participating countries.
