 Sociocultural optics of metropolis researchA. K. Mamedov (), N. Z. Gogokhia () and A. A. Gubanova () RSUH/RGGU BULLETIN. Series Economics. Management. Law, 2025, issue 3 Abstract: The article specifies the concept of a megalopolis, its relationship with the concept of a large city. It is noted that, being a large association of people, a city is a special socio-cultural space in which new strategies of human behavior are produced and actualized, including their orientation toward new customs, traditions, values and laws. A city is a manifestation of “civilization†in the sense of its etymological meaning. A megalopolis, as the largest “attractive†city, is a striking example in which modern socio-cultural issues are addressed. It is highlighted that a megalopolis is an indicator of cultural development, which is indicative for other territories of spatial development.Authors analyze cultural interaction within the framework of urbanization processes and give a concept of value attitudes of communicating parties from the standpoint of the fact that it is necessary for the implementation of high-quality cultural exchange. They argue that culture is a complex concept characterizing a special system of norms, values and rules of behavior that are formed on the basis of both the external environment and the environment created by society itself and is important in the socio-cultural study of large cities.
