“…Considering the density and the diversity of stakeholders, cities are seen as knowledge hubs (OECD 2011) offering an inventive-enabling environment that attracts talents, entrepreneurs, and capital (Edvardsson et al, 2016;Goffe, 2016;Yigitcanlar et al, 2015;Penco et al, 2020). However, not all cities have transformed into innovative milieus, creative spaces, and innovation ecosystems (Oksanen and Hautamäki, 2014;Romano et al, 2014;Ölschläger, 2012).…”

Knowledge is becoming a paramount resource of innovation economies. The efficient management of generation, use, accumulation and transfer of knowledge within a non‑linear innovation process plays a critical role in economic growth. Knowledge geography registers the uneven landscape of the national innovation system and captures the key excellence clusters at different hierarchical levels – from local nodes to cities and regions. While the spatial patterns of knowledge commercialization are primarily considered via production processes at the regional level (regional innovation systems, regional innovation clusters), knowledge generation has to be monitored and assessed at the level of cities. Urban settlements accommodate communities of people and a population of firms that form unique configurations of innovation ecosystems that sculpture the intellectual capital of regions and states. This paper presents the distribution of knowledge‑generating centres in Russia by undertaking an in‑depth evaluation of bibliometric data for 440 settlements across the country for a period of 2013‑2017. Methods of spatial scientometrics enable to register the intellectual capital accumulated in a certain locality and analyse development trajectories of urban settlements. Russia is an interesting case of studying the spatial patterns of knowledge generation. The large territorial extent of the country, the remoteness of individual cities from each other, their heterogeneity in size, level of development, and knowledge specialization makes it a highly diverse context. Research results suggest that knowledge domain characteristics are formed irrespective of the population figures, whereas the development dynamics of small and medium‑sized cities are specific. Smaller cities strive to be integrated into inter‑regional and international collaboration in order to overcome the shortage of local resources. A limited gross volume of research output generated by small and medium‑sized cities creates extreme indicator values as compared to the major cities and the national average. The study concludes with a typology of cities taking into account the specific features of knowledge generation dynamics.

The purpose of the article is to highlight the importance of maintaining a commitment to ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) principles in the economy of major cities even under the sanctions regime. The research methodology is based on the theories of sustainable and spatial development. The methods of comparative, statistical and structural analysis have been used. The study hypothesises that Russia, even in the current conditions, has due prerequisites for the development of its cities based on ESG principles of economic management. The analysis of the ecological situation made it possible to justify the need for non-alternative observance of ESG principles in urban agglomerations. It is shown that the adherence to these principles will be largely determined by the quality and efficiency of the developed municipal economic policy. It is proposed to devise a special section on municipal industrial policy within the framework of the regional industrial policy, with a view to systematising administrative and incentive measures for the realisation of the ESG agenda for million-plus cities. The research results can be useful in amending socio-economic development strategies for Russia’s major and biggest cities.

Purpose: Development of a methodology for assessing the development of urban agglomerations and calculating the level of their development. Discussion: The article presents the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of the diagnosis of the regional economic area, explores the existing methodological and methodological approaches to assess the development of urban agglomerations. The development of the territory is assessed by indicators of the population settlement system and transport accessibility of the satellite zone to the core of the agglomeration. But since the object of our study is agglomeration formed in a territory with a diverse economic structure and a complex spatial and demographic characteristic, the above set of indicators for assessing the level of development is not enough. Results: A technique is proposed that determines the sequence of actions in the formation of urban agglomerations. The level of development of the urban agglomeration is analyzed. Indicators are proposed for assessing the level of agglomeration development, which were applied on the materials of the Barnaul agglomeration. In the subregion we are considering, the urbanized type of territorial and economic structure dominates. However, the inclusion of rural municipalities in the agglomeration changes the type of urban agglomeration to industrial-agriculture agglomeration.
