Пространственная экономика: перспективы развития

The article discusses the features and key aspects of the development of the spatial economy. Purpose: systematizing the main concepts and theories of spatial economics, determining the prospects for its development in the context of using the spatial approach in the development of modern states. Objectives: 1) consider modern approaches of scientists to the interpretation of the concept of "spatial economy"; 2) identify, from a theoretical and practical point of view, the key vectors of spatial development of the economy. Methods: systems approach, analysis, synthesis, generalization. Results: the prospects for the development of the spatial economy are associated with the use of new forms of territorial organization of production and sales of products, the involvement of a wide variety of resources in economic activity, regardless of their location, as well as the possibility of reducing production costs. Conclusion. Socio-economic development began to depend on the degree of integration of the territory into foreign markets, on the inflow of capital, knowledge and technology from other regions. Thus, the economic space of the territory no longer coincides with its administrative framework, predetermining the mobility of the conditional boundaries.
