Importance The article studies the impact of urban infrastructure's development on regional social and economic development.
Objectives The article aims to identify the degree of impact of urban infrastructure on regional socio-economic development. The Tomsk oblast is as a study region. For analysis, the period of 2011–2015 with a forecast for 2016 is considered as a time interval.
Methods For the study, we used the methods of comparative analysis, correlation and regression analysis, and expert estimation.
Results We propose an evaluation system based on indicators that characterize the socio-economic development of the region. We have identified the dependencies between socio-economic indicators and the level of development of individual types of urban infrastructure.
Conclusions and Relevance We conclude that, on average, the region's socio-economic development depends on 90 percent on the level of development of urban infrastructure. It is necessary to take into account the fact of a possible change in correlation of the pairs, as during the time, the pairs can begin correlating in a different way under the influence of economic, social, and political developments. The results of the study can be used to justify the perspective directions of urban infrastructure's development and support the basic methods of formation of regional policies to ensure the socio-economic development.

Keywords: urban infrastructure, socio-economic development, correlation analysis
