| Title of the article | Factors of formation and development of agglomeration growth points |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The spontaneous growth of urban agglomerations and insufficient coordination of their development lead to a number of problems, such as uneven distribution of infrastructure, transport congestion, and a decrease in the quality of the urban environment. In this regard, there is a need to develop effective mechanisms for managing the spatial development of agglomerations, which determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of the study is to substantiate approaches to identifying and classifying agglomeration growth points that contribute to the sustainable spatial development of urban agglomerations. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were set: to define the concept of “growth point in urban development”, to propose a classification of growth points by type and to identify the factors of determining and developing agglomeration growth points. Results. In the course of the study, approaches to determining agglomeration growth points are systematized, and their classification based on the identified factors is proposed. The key groups of factors influencing the formation and development of growth points in urban agglomerations, as well as their role in the spatial development of territories are identified. Conclusions. The significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that the identified factors will make it possible to determine strategically important areas for the development of agglomerations, as well as promising areas, the development of which may affect the socio-economic aspects of agglomerations in the future. |
