EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE
Abstract. The

The article analyzes forms of globalist influence due
to the strategy created by metropolis. The parameters that should be considered
in the development of long- and medium-term strategies of the metropolis were
determined. Determined that the Development Strategy requires
above all a clear definition of further methodological model city. The methods for
assessing the positioning of the main cities in Europe were analyzed.

Introduction.
Modeling of
the impact of globalization on urban development is basically a lot of
complications, both theoretical and applied, because the development of
effective strategies for the development of the metropolis should include a set
of appropriate responses to the rapid changes taking place in the global
economy and geopolitics. However, analysis of the forms globalist influence, as
noted by D. Held and A. MakHru and development of appropriate responses can
vary quite strongly in its results.
The above
authors indicate the presence of four discussion groups with regard to strategy
posed metropolis - vertical segment, consisting of the globalists and skeptics
and horizontal basis which form the so-called cosmopolitan [1, p. 5]. It follows that in the process
of developing long- and medium-term strategies of the metropolis, as Kyiv,
which also has the status of capital should consider the following:
- the impact of globalization factors on city becomes
every year more and more noticeable, so that this settlement is likely to
distance themselves from other regions of the country and approach the major
cities of Europe and the world;
- containment of the city or, on the contrary, its
incentives have similar benefits and risks, which in any SWOT-analysis arouse
distrust analysts skeptical and those who are more attuned to the positive
perception of innovation, ie the most optimistic assessment of the impact the
effects of globalization on the capital city;
- cosmopolitan vision of the metropolis is quite
controversial, because it involves a holistic perception of urban and network
processes raging in the world. Noting exactly the same feature famous American
major cities while British researcher M. Shtorper rightly points out that the
world formed a kind of mishmash terms and phrases that with all their interlacing,
and in some cases require the identity and precise positioning areas (cities)
in view of the existence in these so-called two "engines" of capital
controls, which include the author's opinion, the internal and external
interactions generalization urbanization processes [2, p. 118];
- communicative vision of globalization impact on the
development of the capital city and the formation of the basis of an adequate
strategy more likely reflect the views of the American scientist R. Florida,
who is convinced that the development of creative class always stimulates
communicative potential of the city, creating a concentration of such
significant benefits to the global community, acting kind of loader of its
infrastructure [3].
Results. Well aware
of the possible impact of each of the above approaches to creating the optimal
strategy of the capital of Ukraine is extremely important the separation of
Kyiv place in the global system of international transfer of production and
finance, and also resources including creative. This positioning of the graphic level, though without
emphasizing the capital and the movement of factors of production could make
the British and Singaporean researchers - N. Coe, K. Layi, D. Voychyk who
presented a similar move as a ship that crosses institutionally mediated
interface, creating this new model of economic environment
Development Strategy requires above all a clear
definition of further methodological model of city. Most important in view of this, is that of professionals
who specialize in the study of cities including Municipalities and regions is
sustained fairly significant discussion about whether to evaluate the
development of cities with the development of the countries in which they are
located or link them better future prospects of the global transfer of
production factors and thus to favor the dominant one in this time of economic
theories.
According to one of these researchers - S. Aleksiadis
original methodological framework when developing strategies could be: the
neoclassical theory of endogenous growth theory, the so-called new economic
geography or postkeynsian theory [4].
It follows
that effective city management can only be when for its implementation will
apply the most advanced scientific tools that have adequate performance as of
this time, in this city, and under appropriate conditions.
Quite well, in our opinion, an attempt of forming the
neoliberal model of Berlin development made Shipstal I. and B. Nichols. Their strategy of political and
economic identification of the city with its subsequent modernization entirely
based on the theory of neo-liberalism and forming respective clubs, including
networking development support recycling (displacement) of the middle class
selection of individuals can develop a
culture and support public and local activities, formation of free communities
[8, pp. 184-189].
A similar view is shared by other researchers,
including John. A. Peck and Tikel who are convinced that there should be
singled out neoliberal special space within which common rules are to be
distributed not only in the capital and other regions of the country, but also
on integration communities in which they are [9]. Similar conclusions about the neoliberal model were
made by A. Onh [10] and Briton D. Harvey [11], which clearly indicates that
systemic convergence of major cities will be much faster than the convergence
of depressed regions of the country with its capital.
The development strategy of any capital city at its
core must have not only a model of globalization and regulation panel answers
to global challenges, but also have the appropriate modulation converged with
other metropolitan areas located within the continent or integration alliance. However, some researchers
strongly believe that formal capital (ie, artificially created), no other than
administrative segment functions has, thus, can not be attributed to the
capital city of the country. So no
coincidence that assessing the positioning of major cities in Europe (excluding
the CIS countries) are known Western scholars N. Bosma and R. Sternberg decided
to identify the main city of Italy as Milan, not Rome, Switzerland - Zurich
instead Bern, Turkey - Istanbul and not Ankara. In view of this, the overall positioning of some
capital cities in Europe has become clear ranking importance, given that you
can with high probability to estimate the position of Kyiv City [12, pp.
1024-1026].
Mentioned above, researchers N. Bosma and R. Sternberg
decided to go ahead and introduced universal primary index of business activity
(Total early-stage entrepreneurial activity) - TEA, which is most informative
as currently characterizes the development of business in the capital, which
generally allows you to create adequate strategy, given the assessment of the
business environment.
It follows that a significant inflow of capital
account both on the city's with high investment attractiveness (Dublin, Oslo,
London, Madrid) and the capital of the new Member States and candidate (Riga,
Belgrade). Central group consists of the
capital, which experienced a significant investment exposure, exposure in the
past (jump investments) and is to some extent affected by the high cost of
labor (Berlin, Zurich, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Athens) and new EU Member States
(Zagreb). Finally, low primary business
activity is inherent, both traditional creative centers (Paris, Brussels,
Milan, Helsinki, Stockholm) and the periphery of the European Union (Bucharest,
Lisbon, Istanbul). As for Kyiv
TEA-level can likely look as low as, first substantial institutional
acceleration has still not happened, and second post-Soviet bureaucratic model
of regulation of the city continues to operate in the third investment boom, as
happened with Belgrade after the Balkan wars.
However, further development of the city is impossible
without a clear positioning of its strategies based model, which gravitates. Given the above, we can be
convinced that the future Ukrainian capital is largely driven by determination
of the commitment the community of a particular model, the choice of which, as
evident from the previous pressure is small, neo-liberal, dominated the
business vector development, or neo-Keynesian, which occupy the top spot human
capital and social conditions of its operation. However under the influence of the main metropolis of
our country together internal and external factors do not exclude the formation
and mixed model with its many hybrid variants, the main advantages of which
will be in higher flexibility of creating urban development programs, high
speed feasible onshore activities and opportunities to implement adjustments to
strategies during their creation, implementation and modernization in the
medium and long term.
Conclusions.
Closer than
anyone to isolating nature of strategic planning in the development of the city
came John Brighton and John Sipel, who managed to clear criteria to distinguish
excellence of local government, which include: focus on actions close to the
citizens, autonomy and entrepreneurship , focus on workers, values, mission,
goals and terms of reference, structure, political relations and so on.
Together, it is possible to accurately position the public sector risks that
complicate the path to "perfection."
