One important field of modern complex research is the study of urban area transformation processes under the significant influence of changes in transport infrastructure, including railway infrastructure. Using the comparative method and the method of integral scoring, the authors of the article have evaluated how well suburban railway transport is developed in 14 millionaire cities of Russia. A special focus is on Volgograd, Krasnoyarsk, Samara and Kazan, which are all similar to Perm in terms of territorial and planning characteristics. One trend in organizing urban traffic is to develop off-street and high-speed transport (including railways), which is particularly important to Perm as the city is stretched along the Kama River. In the article we reveal that Perm has a high potential for increasing the role of railway transport in urban traffic organization. However, that potential is not fully reached because of the unsystematic approach to managing suburban railways at the regional and municipal levels; this has negative budgetary, financial, spatial and temporal consequences. The authors state that the project to eliminate the railway line from the station “Perm II” to the railway stop “Motovilikha” initiated by the regional authorities has negative consequences. It worsens the integral indicator characterizing the level of suburban railway transport development in the center of Perm Region and makes commuting longer and less comfortable for passengers. Also, it makes public transport in Perm less effective in terms of the city budget. The project will force people to use private cars and will make the city transport system less rational. Although the authorities state that the railway line hinders the integration of the Kama river embankment into the urban space, the authors of the article have not found sufficient evidence in support of that argument.

В статье рассматривается один из видов территорий с особым экономическим статусом – территории опережающего социально-экономического развития (ТОСЭР) как механизм регионального управления в период реновации российской экономики. В качестве теоретико-методологической основы исследования выступает теория цикличности развития мирового хозяйства, в рамках которой раскрываются закономерности развития старопромышленных регионов. Переживая стагнацию и деградацию традиционных отраслей промышленности, такие регионы находятся в поиске новых импульсов развития, некоторые объявляются территориями опережающего развития. Научный подход, реализуемый в работе, основан на концепции поляризованного развития, которая предполагает выявление полюсов (точек роста) с высоким потенциалом и приложение адекватных усилий для их развития. В статье акцентируется внимание на роли территорий опережающего развития в качестве научной базы региональной политики и современного инструмента развития региональной социоэкономики. Динамический анализ условий формирования таких территорий выявил современные тенденции их продвижения с востока на запад. На примере ТОСЭР, созданных в «моногородах» Пермского края, раскрываются проблемы их становления. В качестве индикаторов эффективности прилагаемых усилий по формированию Чусовского и Нытвенского ТОСЭР использованы демографические показатели, анализ которых выявил, что социально-экономическая ситуация остается неблагополучной, естественная убыль населения сопровождается миграционным оттоком. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о необходимости усиления региональной политики в целях сохранения и преумножения человеческого капитала. Механизм трансформации проблемных регионов в ТОСЭР может стать инструментом стратегического планирования и территориального управления, позволяющим сместить акцент на эффективную социальную ориентацию хозяйства. The article examines one of the types of territories with a special economic status - the territory of advanced socio-economic development (TASED) as a mechanism of regional management in the course of the Russian economy renovation. The theory of the cyclical development of the world economy serves as the theoretical and methodological basis of this study to reveal the development patterns of old-industrial regions. Experiencing stagnation and degradation in traditional industries, such regions are looking for new impulses for their development. Some of them are declared as priority development areas. The scientific approach implemented in the work is based on the concept of polarized development, which involves identifying “growth poles” (points) with high potential and applying of adequate efforts for their development. The main attention focuses on the role of the advanced development areas as a scientific basis for making regional policy and as a modern tool for the development of regional socioeconomics. A dynamic analysis of the TASED creation in Russia has revealed current trends in their formation mainly from east to west. The authors consider the problems in the TASED formation by examples of two mono-industrial urban settlements in the Perm region – Chusovoy and Nytva. The demographic data used as indicators to reflect effectiveness of the TASED formation show that the socio-economic situation remains unfavorable, and the natural population decline accompanied by a noticeable migration outflow. The obtained results indicate the need to strengthen regional policy in order to preserve and increase human capital. The mechanism of transformation of problem regions into TASEDs can become the instrument of strategic planning and territorial management to shift the emphasis on effective social orientation of the economy. At the first stage of forming the “growth poles” in mono-industrial towns of the Perm Region, it is necessary to solve the employment problem, to prioritize not economic, but social tasks. It also needs a creation of the conditions for any type of economic activity in order to prevent the social tension growth and labor forces outflow. It is advisable to form a “knowledge economy”, to create a system “science - business – power”. The local socioeconomic development requires long-term, painstaking and purposeful efforts, coordinating actions of regional and municipal authorities. TASED has prospects for becoming an effective mechanism in territorial management, a “growth pole” in the old industrial region.
