Abstract

The paper deals with issues of organization of local self/governance in the intraurban areas of the cities of federal significance and considers existing theoretical approaches to development of large urban areas and their governance, an international experience of organization of governance in large cities and urban agglomerations, local self/governance practices in the cities of federal significance. The authors' recommendations are aimed at improvement of the list of local issues and powers fixed with municipalities in the intraurban areas, and territorial and financial grounds of local self/governance in cities of federal significance. The paper also considers the municipal aspect of organization of governance of the Moscow and St. Petersburg urban agglomerations.
