Abstract: The thesis explores the concept of agglomeration economies and their role in fostering sustainable industrialdevelopment. It emphasizes the advantages of firms operating in close proximity, including access to a broader laborforce, specialization, and the exchange of resources and knowledge. Sustainable industrial development, characterizedby a balance between economic, social, and environmental aspects, is seen as crucial for generating enduring value forenterprises and society.Drawing on global literature, the thesis identifies three mechanisms through which agglomeration economies materialize:attraction, collaboration, and organization. The analysis extends to Uzbekistan’s strategic objectives, aligning them withsuccessful agglomeration models observed in advanced economies.The advantages of agglomeration economies are summarized into three key mechanisms: sharing, adaptation, andlearning. These mechanisms enable collaborative resource utilization, swift technological integration, and efficient infra-structure sharing within agglomerated settings.The thesis concludes with academic recommendations for Uzbekistan, urging intentional establishment of industrialzones, strategic infrastructure investment, mechanisms for knowledge exchange, workforce development, environmentalsustainability initiatives, innovation hubs, diversification, policy interventions, public-private partnerships, and a robustmonitoring system. Implementing these recommendations is seen as vital for Uzbekistan to harness agglomerationeconomies effectively, contributing substantively to sustainable industrial development and fostering enduring economic,social, and environmental benefits.
