https://doi.org/10.31675/1607-1859-2026-28-2-57-71
Abstract
This study is determined by agglomeration processes and ways of a stable territory development in the city of Novosibirsk, the largest Siberian center with a high population density and favorable socio-economic conditions.
Purpose: The study of the Novosibirsk agglomeration (the core and satellites) in chronological boundaries (1950–2025) according to the urbanization level in terms of the economy and ecology. Methodology: Historical-genetic, positional-spatial, functional, cartographic and mathematical statistical analyses.
Research findings: Negative trends are shown for the agglomeration development, including the migration outflow, shortage of personnel, uneven development. In the economic sphere, there is a development of innovative and knowledge-intensive production, with a large proportion of shipped products concentrated in the agglomeration center. The environmental analysis shows a reduction in the regional biodiversity, green spaces, the urban heat island effect, and a pollution of vital natural re-sources.
Value: Based on the results, directions are suggested for further stable development of the terri-tory: the transition to a polycentric model, strengthening of the environment, development of the economy and social infrastructure with respect to regional conditions.
