Performance Criteria of Spatial Development Projects Based on Interregional Integration

Spatial Development: Inter-Regional Projects With The Participation Of Rural Territories

“…Obviously, maintaining a conservative approach to spatial development does not meet the interests of a significant part of the citizens of Russia, as it leads to further differentiation of territories and population groups in terms of income and quality of life. The market organization of space is based on the concept of polarized spatial development (controlled compression), while state retention of space is based on the concept of endogenous economic growth, which, according to Kurushina and Petrov (2018), does not exclude the sharing of these approaches in solving spatial development problems. Interestingly, these authors suggest the predominant use of a uniformly hierarchical model characteristic of a conservative approach for the development of rural territories, thereby indirectly recognizing the uncompetitiveness of rural settlements relative to urban ones and their inability to mobilize internal development resources, including due to the lack of the above mentioned.…”

“…Gizatullin, F. Garipov and Z. Garipova (2018). The application of the project approach to spatial development of the territories is substantiated by Kurushina and Petrov (2018). In particular, the authors propose to take into account the synergistic effects of interregional interaction in the process of project evaluation.…”
