Economic and spatial interactions in the modeling of the development of Lviv agglomeration

The subject of the study is the processes of agglomeration of the space of Ukraine, methodicaltools for the formation and management of agglomerations.The purpose of the study is to justify proposals for the spatial development of the agglomeration,taking into account economic and spatial interactions to increase the effectiveness of the LvivAgglomeration Development Strategy.Research methods. The theoretical and practical provisions of social logic are used, where thesystem of social knowledge, rules, values, roles, expectations, beliefs, cognitive assumptions and rulesis important for understanding and understanding processes, as well as statistical and rational–analytical methods.Work results. Attention is focused on the main aspects and debatable points of the developedDevelopment Strategy of the Lviv agglomeration and its compliance with new realities, requirements,temporal and spatial characteristics. The directions and tasks of scientific justifications for theorganization and development of agglomerations, which will contribute to the agglomeration of thespace of Ukraine, have been determined.Scope of results. In the concept of spatial development of the state, it is advisable to include theideas of agglomeration, formation and development of agglomerations. These provisions should betaken into account when updating the General State Planning Scheme and the Planning Schemes ofindividual administrative regions. Reasoned author’s proposals regarding the spatial development of theLviv agglomeration, which are based on taking into account its uniqueness and spaciousness, as well asintangible factors, should be used when updating urban planning documentation at lower hierarchical levels.Conclusions. Proposals for changes and additions to the Development Strategy of the LvivAgglomeration, which provide for the consideration of the characteristics of uniqueness, spatialorientation and intangible factors, which are important for increasing the social, ecological andeconomic efficiency of its implementation, are substantiated. New measures and project proposalsfor the formation and integrated development of the Lviv agglomeration were specified and proposed
