Features of urban agglomerations formation in the system of the Black Sea region

Abstract

Research background: The structure of the urban agglomeration is quite dynamic and requires comprehensive consideration and research. Despite the initial stage - formation, urban agglomerations in the system of the Black Sea region have the characteristics of developed systems. The paper evaluates the starting position of urban agglomerations of the Black Sea region, based on the coefficient of development, coefficient and index of agglomeration. Emphasis is placed on the consideration of urban agglomerations in the context of the recreational component. The vector of development changes from the central areas to the suburban area with the active transformation of the spatial structure. A system of integrated territorial development of urban agglomerations is needed, taking into account their specific spatial components. Purpose of the article: Research of modern processes that form urban agglomerations. Study of positive and negative effects of agglomeration. Identification of the main factors influencing the agglomeration process of the Black Sea region. Methods: The following methods were used to solve the problems: analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, rating. Findings & Value added: Development of urban agglomerations of the Black Sea region is planning and coordination of further sustainable development of agglomeration space, including development of plan for construction, planning and coordination of infrastructure construction, search for funding sources. This will intensified investment, give impetus to the development infrastructure, economic environment and recreational component.
