“…The first trend is the continuing concentration of the country's population in the largest multifunction cities, which serve as regional capitals. This is in line with the overall national trend (Druzhinin 2013). This process is observed in Saint Petersburg (its population has increased by 530,000 people or 11.3% in the post-Soviet period), Rostov-on-Don (96,000 or 9.6%), Kaliningrad (52,000 or 13%), and some other cities.…”

The World Ocean and, in particular, its resource potential have always had a dramatic effect on the progress and spatial organisation of humanity. Recently, the effect of the sea factor on the economy and the settlement system has increased amid globalisation, geoeconomic changes, increasing geopolitical turbulence, and the growing competition for resources. In this article, I attempt to assess the influence of the sea factor on the socioeconomic geography of the Russian Federation. A country with an extensive coastline and a vast inland area, Russia has territories that are very different in geographical terms. I pay special attention to the post-Soviet changes in the major components of the country’s maritime economy: seaports, fishing industry, offshore production, recreation, etc. Another focus is the assessment of these industries’ impact on the development of the coastal areas. I demonstrate the growing dependence between the maritime economy and the economic development of Russia’s inland regions. I identify the key natural geographic, foreign economy, settlement-related, and geopolitical factors of the coastalisation of the economy, infrastructure, and population, observed in Russia today. This process is taking place in the Baltic, Black, and Caspian Sea areas, as well as in the Arctic and Pacific regions of the country. I conclude that Russia’s integration into the system of multi-dimensional Eurasian partnerships (including the Belt and Road initiative) and the ‘turn to the East’ contribute to both the further ‘marinisation’ of Russian space and the differentiation of coastal zones by the level and rates of socio-economic development.

“…The population growth rates are mapped and compared with the facts of emerging and growing trade and logistics facilities, settlements and recreational areas, large enterprises and higher education institutions, as well as their clustering trends, which intensify intraagglomeration interactions. The inclusion of Shakhty, Novoshakhtinsk and Volgodonsk into the research area for evaluating the territorial system of the Rostov agglomeration is an unusual approach (Druzhinin, 2013;Merinov & Merinova, 2014;Bredikhin, 2016;Andreyeva, 2011;Abdullaev & Mishchenko, 2017). However, we believe this will increase the accuracy of research and enable us to track the development trends of the first and second agglomerations arcs more fully, taking into account the presence of a geographically remote third arc at the North-East.…”

Cities around the world are central locations for economic activity, industrial production, research and innovation. Urban environment is a favourable locus for entrepreneurship and living, accumulating a significant share of regional and national administrative, financial and human resources, concentrating advanced public infrastructure and social sector services. In the process of regional development, the integration and coherence between cities strengthen, the functions are redefined, and the specialisation deepens, while the role of the central city(-ies) is reinforced. Consideration of inter-city intraagglomeration socioeconomic integrity and functional interconnectivity is vital for efficient governance. However, the blurred boundaries of urban agglomerations impede elaboration of place-specific development policies on urban and regional growth. Our study is aimed at delimitation of urban agglomeration structure around the Rostov-on-Don-one of the ten largest cities of Russia and the administrative centre of the Southern federal district. Results suggest that Rostov agglomeration continues to evolve with a different level of integrity between city clusters of the three agglomeration arcs. We find that industrial clustering and transportation network determine the developmental trajectory of the urban agglomeration, shaping its spatial configuration and causing pathdependency.

“…These methods and approaches are most applicable in relation to monocentric agglomerations, having in their administrativeterritorial structure one clearly dominant center forming the core of agglomeration. Undoubtedly, Bolshoi Rostov can be attributed to this type as the largest urban agglomeration of southern Russia (Druzhinin, 2013;Fedorovskaia & Shishkunova, 2016).…”
