- Abstract
Urban inequality is characterized by significant imbalances in population, resource abundance, and the availability of economic benefits. This leads to inhabitant`s migration to large cities and megacities and the weakening of small and medium- sized towns. Polycentricity as a public policy is the way to overcome urban inequality. Its core is encouragement and development of polycentric agglomerations, which are the networks of small and medium-sized cities characterised by diverse and complementary economic specializations, a common labour market, and an infrastructure. This complementary allows polycentric agglomerations function spatially as a “united city” and resist the hypertrophy of the largest cities. In the article, the authors used the case of small and medium- sized cities located in the southern Krasnoyarsk Krai and the Republic of Khakassia to analyse the historical preconditions, prospects, and limitations of the formation of a polycentric agglomeration
