AGGLOMERATION PROCESSES OF BALANCED DEVELOPMENT OF SUBURBAN AREAS OF LARGE UKRAINIAN CITIES

The article is a result of an analytical research on development of relations between the
city and suburban area. An attempt to define main factors that may be included into a future
strategy of balanced development and to avoid a number of problems in the organization of group
forms of settlement in the big cities' influence zone. The decentralization processes in the
governance system constitute the social and economic potential for creation of a system of
common interests in development, and not for destruction of both cities and suburban area.
