In Ukraine, the partnership of regional centers and districts of region has great potential in the context of promoting the development of territories, because its implementation in the long term will allow to overcome the disparity in the level of socio-economic development of territories and increase the viability of region as a whole. However, given that this potential is not fully involved today, it is important to establish a dialogue between the territorial communities of the center and the periphery on the search for opportunities and prospects for joint development. The article proposes a conceptual approach to increasing the center-to-peripheral interaction of the regional center and districts of the region at the present stage of decentralization. It is emphasized that the basic principle of the policy of increasing the center-to-peripheral interaction of regional center and districts of region should be the principle of sustainability (achieving economic, environmental and social balance), and achieving the priorities of sustainable development should be consistent with other principles of effective center-to-peripheral interaction (in particular, parity, inclusivity, efficiency, effectiveness and strategic orientation, innovation, development, social cohesion, resistance, etc.). It is determined (taking into account foreign experience and domestic realities of regional development) that the main directions of interaction of the examined administrative units should be: modernization of infrastructure; creation of tourism and recreational network; development of industry clusters; production of innovations; development of business support infrastructure; digitalization; development of social and civic opportunities. The results of increasing the center-to-peripheral interaction of regional center and districts of region should satisfy three components of the vital activity of hromadas in the region: economic, social, environmental.
