Abstract

The article provides a theoretical generalization and conceptual interpretation of the processes shaping the investment environment of urban agglomerations in the context of ensuring sustainable development of the national economy. It is substantiated that, under contemporary conditions, urban agglomerations function as key meso-level spatial and economic systems in which investment resources, human capital, innovation activity, and institutional interactions are concentrated, thereby determining trajectories of economic growth and structural transformation. It is demonstrated that agglomeration effects, network interactions, and interterritorial coordination generate development synergies that significantly influence the scale, structure, and effectiveness of investment processes compared to other spatial levels. The essence of the investment environment of urban agglomerations is clarified as a dynamic integrated system of economic, institutional, infrastructural, social, environmental, digital, and security-related components that interact continuously and transform under the influence of internal and external factors. It is shown that the formation of an agglomeration investment environment is not limited to creating favorable conditions for capital attraction but involves the purposeful alignment of investment decisions with spatial development priorities, environmental constraints, and sustainable development goals. A theoretical model for shaping the investment environment of urban agglomerations is proposed, reflecting the mechanisms through which investment resources are transformed into long-term socio-economic and environmental outcomes. The role of agglomerations as growth poles capable of generating multiplicative investment effects and disseminating positive spillover effects to adjacent territories is identified. The practical significance of the findings is substantiated for the formulation of state and regional investment policies, the development of agglomeration development strategies, investment project portfolios, and mechanisms of inter-municipal coordination in the context of sustainable development and post-war economic recovery in Ukraine.
