Comprehensive consideration of natural, demographic, economic, and cultural features of the territory allows for the formation of a well-thought-out urban policy. Special attention is paid to historical and modern disproportions in the spatial development of Russia, the need to coordinate the interests of various participants in the process, and the significance of integrating geographical data in developing effective territorial planning strategies.
The conference became an important platform for discussing modern trends in the development of geography, urban planning, and sustainable regional development. Participants noted the relevance of an interdisciplinary approach in solving problems of preserving natural heritage, developing small towns, and digitalizing spatial data.
