At the present stage of reforms in Russian regions
centripetal processes have amplified. The formal
centers of subjects of the Russian Federation became
the main focuses of growth and development. These
processes and conditions enhance differentiation and
dependence of periphery from regional nuclei and
centers. Keeping these conditions will intensify uneven
development in the Russian regions in the future.
Moreover major cities continue to accumulate negative
effects on economic activities: environmental
problems, social relationships, infrastructure
congestion, traffic jams, etc. This model does not
allow for sustainable polycentric development and,
according to the researchers, limiting the further
development of today's largest metropolitan area in the
range of 50-60 years. Authors have tried to pay
attention to necessity of overcoming of spatial
polarization as a necessary condition of a sustainable
development of regions. Based on the analysis of
approaches to spatial development justified the need
for a polycentric type of regional development on the
basis of formation of sustainable development dots
(ecoloci). The author proposes a concept and a
definition of ecolocus as an open ecological and socioeconomic
system, freely exchanged environmental,
financial, material, human, informational, symbolic,
and other kinds of resources with the environment,
generating positive changes towards sustainable
development and green economy
