The purpose of this research is to identify opportunities and limitations, both legal and organizational, for the formation of governance systems for urban agglomerations. Having conducted a comparative analysis of the development and functioning of such systems in some countries with the conditions existing in the St. Petersburg region, the second populous city of Russia, the authors for the first time identify the development and governance problems of the urban agglomeration, the territory of which includes fully or partly the territories of two subjects of the Russian Federation: the federal city and the surrounding Leningrad region (oblast). For both variants of the agglomeration - with the 60 km and 120 km radius - the authors determine the model of the public power system for the Saint Petersburg agglomeration, acceptable from the point of view of the Russian legislation and the main modern management principles of rationality, effectiveness, and efficiency. The model does not envisage institutionalization with the creation of a complete public power system for the entire region but should be focused on the joint performance of functions with the inclusion in the process of all levels and authorities responsible for the life quality in the region. The first steps in this direction have been taken by both federation subjects in recent years. The unification of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region into one subject of federation, as well as the partial annexation of the region’s territory to the federal city, are not yet considered.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В связи с масштабами российской территории проблема развития системы расселения и городских агломераций как центров преимущественного развития обладает высокой степенью актуальности. Целью исследования является выявление возможностей и ограничений как правового, так и организационного характера для формирования систем управления городскими агломерациями. Проведя сравнительный анализ развития и функционирования данных систем в ряде стран с условиями, существующими в регионе Санкт-Петербурга, второго по численности населения города России, авторы впервые четко вычленили проблему развития городской агломерации, территория которой включает полностью или частично территории двух субъектов Российской Федерации: города федерального значения и окружающей его Ленинградской области. В обоих вариантах - агломерация радиусом 60 км и радиусом 120 км - определена допустимая с точки зрения российского законодательства и принципов рациональности, экономичности и эффективности, являющихся базовыми принципами современного управления, модель организации системы публичной власти для Санкт-Петербургской агломерации, способной сформировать оптимальное единообразное качество жизни на ее территории. Она не предусматривает институционализацию с созданием полной системы публичной власти для всей территории, а должна быть ориентирована на совместное выполнение общих для всей территории функций с включением в процесс всех уровней и органов публичной власти, ответственных за качество жизни на территории. Первые шаги в этом направлении предпринимаются обоими регионами на протяжении последних лет. Объединение Санкт-Петербурга и Ленинградской области в один субъект федерации, а также присоединение к городу части территории области пока не рассматриваются.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>territory</kwd><kwd>equalization</kwd><kwd>sustainable development</kwd><kwd>city</kwd><kwd>agglomeration</kwd><kwd>political subjectivity</kwd><kwd>public-legal subjectivity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>территория</kwd><kwd>выравнивание</kwd><kwd>устойчивое развитие</kwd><kwd>город</kwd><kwd>агломерация</kwd><kwd>политическая субъектность</kwd><kwd>публично-правовая субъектность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено в рамках инициативной НИР СЗИУ РАНХиГС при Президенте РФ, номер в системе ЕГИСУ НИОКТР 122112900037–6. 29.11.2022.</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">The study was carried out within the framework of the initiative research NWIM branch RANEPA, № 122112900037–6. 29.11.2022.</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Alekseev, S.S.
