Abstract
The article examines the role and nature of the impact of the urbanization process and, in particular, the development of megacities in sustainable development of territories in the context of the aims set out by «Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development» adopted by the member States of the UN on 25 September 2015. We highlighted both positive and negative aspects of the impact of large urban agglomerations on the achievement of prosperity in their regions and in the global community as a whole. The interregional comparison of the subjects of the Russian Federation with million-plus cities as regional centers was carried out in order to identify common features and patterns of territorial development.
