Abstract: The paper analyzes methodological approaches to building Russian cities agglomeration and their governance. Here a city agglomeration is considered as one of the forms of inter-municipal economic cooperation. On the base of the data concerning the South Kuzbass agglomeration, we consider the cooperation ties between areas and their shortcomings as such ties were built spontaneously because of the uncoordinated socio-economic policies of municipalities. We offer our recommendations on how to improve the inter-municipal cooperation laws, and topics for further researches on selecting the optimal governance models for the South Kuzbass agglomeration.
