Abstract
Background. Agglomerations play a key role in shaping the competitiveness of regions, contributing to the concentration of resources, innovation and human capital. Understanding the mechanisms underlying agglomeration processes makes it possible to develop effective strategies to stimulate economic growth and increase the sustainability of regional economies. The article is devoted to the study of the evolution of approaches to the study of agglomeration effects. The authors systematize the theories of the origin of agglomerations and agglomeration effects. Materials and methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research was the works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the problem of studying the nature of agglomerations and the management of agglomeration processes. A comparative analysis of existing agglomeration theories was used to identify key trends and patterns. Results. The main approaches to the study of agglomerations and agglomeration effects are identified and their evolution is analyzed. Conclusions. There is a tendency towards the formation of an integrated approach to the study of agglomerations.
