Impact of housing infrastructure on socio-economic development of regions
Abstract
The article examines the impact of housing infrastructure on the socio-economic development of the regions of the Volga Federal District, analyzes theoretical approaches of domestic and foreign authors to the study of the housing environment as a key element of regional development. The subject of the study is the regularities and peculiarities of the impact of the level of housing infrastructure development on the main socio-economic indicators of the Volga Federal District regions, formalized by labor force size and other integral indicators characterizing population living standard and the sustainability of the regional economy. The goal is to determine the degree and nature of impact of the housing infrastructure state on the socioeconomic indicators of regional development in the Volga Federal District. The authors identified significant territorial differentiation in terms of housing infrastructure development in the Volga Federal District, which allowed to form three regional clusters: with a high, medium and low level of housing environment development. It was established that for a comprehensive improvement of socio-economic conditions, it is necessary to take into account territorial specifics and use a differentiated approach to housing policy.
