Transregional centers of economic growth: interregional interaction and key factors of spatial development of Russian regions

The article proposes the concept of trans-regional centers of economic growth as key elements of Russia’s spatial development. The main factors in the formation of these centers are systematized and analyzed: natural-geographical, historical-cultural, sociodemographic, economic, institutional, and technological. The evolution of the significance of factors in modern conditions is substantiated: the decreasing role of resource availability with the increasing importance of human capital, innovation potential, and the quality of the institutional environment. The research results are of interest in the context of implementing the Strategy for Spatial Development of the Russian Federation until 2030.
