Subject. This article examines the issues of asymmetrical development of the areas. Objectives. The article aims to study the impact of innovation-driven development on polarization processes in the region. Methods. For the study, we used a comparative analysis. Results. The article justifies the need to form an effective regional innovation policy aimed at reducing the spatial unevenness of the areas. Conclusions. Since many regions of Russia do not have large deposits of actively developed minerals, the innovation factor can become a driver of regional development. The formation of a regional innovation system will contribute to a more balanced development of the territorial structure.
Keywords: Science City, innovation-active area, research-active area, spatial polarization, technology innovative special economic zone
