https://doi.org/10.21686/2073-1051-2025-1-52-70
Abstract
The most important priority of the spatial development of the Russian Federation in accordance with the new Spatial Development Strategy is the system of anchor settlements that form the settlement systems, infrastructure and economy of the Russian Federation and ensure the development of adjacent territories. Master plans are planned for some of the main settlements. The article examines the issues brought to life by the identification of anchor settlements as drivers of the development of the Russian socio-economic space and which are the subject of discussions and discussions. To what extent does the focus on the development of anchor settlements reflect the continuity of the spatial development policy of the Russian Federation? What problems arise in connection with the need to include the concept of a master plan in Russian legislation? Within the framework of the strategic planning system, special attention is paid to the issues of subordination of spatial development documents.
