The article examines the socio-geographical definition of the competitiveness of a city, as well as the types of cities competitiveness. Based on the methodology for calculating the index of the city competitiveness, the competitiveness of the cities of Tatarstan Republic as part of the spatial system of the Russian Federation is determined. Based on the research results, the cities of the Republic of Tatarstan are ranked by the competitiveness index and by the number of specialized types of economic activity. The relevance of cities territorial studies is due to the socio-economic, ecological role of cities in the development of countries, constituent entities of the country. Cities are becoming centers of development, which gives rise to problems of territorial imbalances in socio-economic development. Cities are differentiated on the basis of demographic, economic, social, ecological parameters of their development and functioning. Therefore, there is an inequality of cities in their attractiveness for accommodating the population and for enhancing the functioning of the business community. There is a scientific and practical need to define such a concept as the competitiveness of cities.
