Abstract
The effectiveness of metropolitan area management has not yet been extensively studied. The article proposes to evaluate it in relation to the inter-communal cooperation model based on three components, i.e., evaluate the overail effectiveness of managing the area’s development as the degree to which the goals of agglomeration interaction are achieved, “political" effectiveness of decision-making and implementation, and “managerial" effectiveness of agglomeration projects implementation. Along with the theoretical justification of the approach, the article presents the research results on the effectiveness of managing metropolitan areas in Chelyabinsk Oblast.
