The Russian Far East Spatial Emergency Conception

Abstract:

Studied processes influencing a spatial development of macro region the Russian Far East in a mid-term period. Analyzed problems of the current structure of entities allocation and the accompanying them systems of settlement. Considered parameters of a spatial framework, which contains the main elements - points of accelerated growth, a system of networking links facilitating their integration, and vectors (directions) of development. Made a conclusion about economical macro units - the areas of advanced development that set an economic basis of a spatial framework along with the largest investment projects that, through networking, contribute to formation of a united economic space in the Russian Far East.  Made an assumption about emergence of territorial industrial complexes with a new industrial specialization, which are connected to implementation of large-scale investment projects within the boundaries of territories of advanced development and in the territories referred to the free port of Vladivostok. Development of territorial industrial complexes contributes to setting of polycentric agglomeration structures in the zones adjacent to transport corridors. This, in a long-term period, allows eliminate the disproportion of the spatial distribution of economic activities and the associated residential structures.
