Abstract

The article outlines theoretical approaches to explaining the essence of urban agglomeration. The main characteristics of urban agglomerations are considered, which include the concentration of production and labor resources, population density, the presence of pendulum migrations with labor, cultural, household and recreational purposes, close economic, labor, cultural, household and recreational ties. It was revealed that the main prerequisite for the emergence of agglomerations is the expansion of urban areas under the influence of urbanization processes. The level of urbanization by continent and in European countries was studied. It was found that the highest level of urbanization is typical for North America (83%), in the EU it is equal to 76%, in Ukraine – 69,7%. It is noted that the influence of urbanization processes on the formation of urban agglomerations is manifested due to the need to solve a number of negative consequences of urbanization, in particular, such as problems of housing and transport availability, the concentration of a significant number of manufacturing enterprises within large cities, and the accumulation of industrial and household waste. Statistical data on the largest urban agglomerations of Europe were analyzed. The predictions of scientists regarding the growth of the number of urban agglomerations in the world and Europe, as well as the increase in the population in existing agglomerations, are considered. A classification of the factors that stimulate the formation of urban agglomerations was made, with the allocation of three groups: economic, ecological and social. It was concluded that taking into account these factors will allow to expand the vision of effective ways of improving the development of urban agglomerations in Ukraine. A complex of tasks has been formulated, the solution of which will allow overcoming the organizational and legal problems of managing the development of urban agglomerations. The need for further research devoted to the assessment of the role of urban agglomerations in promoting the sustainable development of national economies is noted.
