| Annotation: | Methods. The methodological foundation of the research is an interdisciplinary approach integrating the principles of new economic geography, endogenous growth theory, institutional analysis, global cities theory, and creative urbanism. The study employs methods of systems analysis, comparative theoretical generalization, interpretation of interdisciplinary concepts, and critical evaluation of their applicability under conditions of contemporary spatial transformation. Results. The article presents a theoretical and conceptual reconceptualization of the potential of agglomerations within the context of the transformation of the spatial development model. It has been established that agglomerations are evolving from spatial-economic nodes into complex innovation-institutional ecosystems capable of accumulating knowledge, innovation, human capital, and forming resilient inter-territorial linkages. The key factors influencing the resilience of agglomerations during periods of structural shifts and global challenges have been identified. It is substantiated that the potential of agglomerations is determined not only by the scale of economic activity but also by the quality of the institutional environment, social interaction, levels of trust, openness to innovation, and the ability to implement adaptive governance under global pressures. Novelty. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the systemic reconceptualization of agglomeration processes through the prism of globalization, technological, and sociocultural trends, with consideration of the specifics of spatial instability, particularly in the context of post-crisis economic recovery. Special attention is given to the need to reorient spatial policy toward ensuring inclusive growth, integrating local innovation environments, and forming resilient development ecosystems. Practical value. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of applying the formulated conclusions and conceptual frameworks for developing strategies for the integrated development of Ukraine’s agglomerations during the post-war economic recovery. The focus is placed on strengthening their innovation, social, and institutional potential, enhancing the competitiveness of regional economies, and fostering inter-territorial cooperation. |
