Выбор модели управления городом как фактор консолидации городских сообществ (на примере административных центров регионов Черноземья)

Abstract

Important factors for the successful consolidation of urban communities are the high level of legitimacy of the management system, as well as the involvement of citizens in the process of formation and rotation of the executive power of the city. Several waves of municipal reforms in Russia since the beginning of the 2000s have formed a tendency to embed local self-government in the "vertical of power". The management of the regional capitals of the regions of the Central Chernozem region is dominated by models in which the executive power of the city is formed with the active participation of the executive power of the subject of the Federation and the dominant interest groups. The alienation of citizens from the process of forming executive structures of the city government hinders efforts to consolidate local communities socially.
