Leveling imbalances of territorial development of the resource region by implementation of infrastructure and investment projects

The Article considers a problem of searching for the proper mechanism of leveling intra-regional development of the resource region. Imbalances of spatial socio-economic development cause unreasonable migration of population, along with the formation of depressed areas and unsustainable development of the region as a whole. This problem is particularly evident in resource regions with the developed sector of extractive industries, where mining companies do not invest in the territories of their presence, but mainly use rotational work. To solve the existing problem it is suggested to apply a project approach for territorial development, based on a private-public partnership. It allows providing sustainable financing for the project implementation and combination of economic and social goals for the development of the service territory. The aim of the research is to substantiate the mechanism of reducing an asymmetry in intra-regional development of the resource region using the project-based approach. An analysis of the project-based approach applied to reduce intra-region disproportions of economic and social development by the example of Krasnoyarsk Krai has demonstrated its high efficiency.
