Abstract

This multi-lateral Program for the Development of the Regions to 2020 shall be applicable to the whole national territory and shall have as objectives creation of conditions for development of social and economic potential of regions, formation of rational territorial organization of the country, stimulation of population and capital in the centers of economic growth, improvement of territorial land-use planning, and efficient and rational provision of the population with potable water. The projected scheme of the territorial development of the country until 2020 is a tool for implementing a new regional policy aimed at creating conditions for sustainable development of the regions based on the effective use of the social and economic potential of each region. As a basic ideology of regional policy, a balanced development strategy based on a rational balance of the priority development of centers of economic growth, territorial concentration and managed urbanization, as well as macro-regional development based on hub and radial principles is proposed. It shall be applicable either to urban or to rural areas. The Program sets the target of the balanced development of macro-regions by pursuing a policy of diversification of their economies, ensuring the flow of investment and labor resources from the extractive industry and low-productivity agricultural sectors to the manufacturing industry and high-performing service sectors of the economy, which will increase the per capita incomes of the country's population.
