Non-capital industrial cities in Russia: approaches to study, problematization of development
https://doi.org/10.31660/1993-1824-2022-1-69-84
Abstract
The relevance of the study is due to the need for sustainable economic growth in the Russian Federation, which continues to be largely determined by real production, which are concentrated primarily in noncapital industrial cities of the country. The relevance is also connected with the tasks of the spatial development of Russia and overcoming the outflow of the population from the periphery to the capital's centers.
The article summarizes modern approaches to the study of noncapital industrial cities in the research of Russian authors. Most of them problematize socio-economic issues, namely diversification of the economy of monotowns, modernization of cityforming enterprises, formation of small and mediumsized businesses, and improvement of urban infrastructure. A system of measures is proposed for the development of these cities "from above" by influencing the urban economy with the help of various kinds of institutional structures and their strategies. At the same time, initiatives "from below" on the part of the citizens and their communities remain poorly studied and unused, or when they are considered, the emphasis is placed on political activism and protest movements. The article articulates the importance of using the actor approach, which allows us to focus on considering the socio-economic and cultural initiatives of citizens and the possibility of their use in shaping the attractiveness of noncapital industrial cities of Russia for highly competent specialists, and especially young people. This approach doesn't diminish the importance of the analysis of management decisions. It also turns out to be associated with the consideration of the sociocultural meanings that people put into their actions and that underlie their identity.
