Abstract. Urban agglomerations are one of the key elements of economic development at the present stage of development. The active development of an urban agglomeration in the context of territorial factors would be impossible without the active development of logistics infrastructure, which makes it possible to integrate active industrial development with centripetal flows of human resources, as well as to intensify interregional economic relations. Kazan urban agglomeration (KUA) is a dynamically developing monocentric agglomeration with a core in Kazan, having a diversified specialization with a pronounced industrial dominance: chemical industry (chemistry and petrochemistry), electric power industry, mechanical engineering (aircraft, shipbuilding, electrical equipment production), light industry, agro-industrial complex, activities in the field of informatization and communications, science and technology machinery, construction, production of construction materials, and tourism. The territory of the Kazan urban agglomeration has a high investment potential for the development of industrial, transport and logistics, agro-industrial, and tourism activities. The purpose of the development of the Kazan urban agglomeration is to create conditions for a high life quality based on the principles of territorial balance and communication connectivity of municipalities belonging to the Kazan urban agglomeration. The dynamic development of industry requires the dynamic development of the logistics system. The logistics system of the Kazan urban agglomeration is a set of transport and warehouse infrastructure that ensures the movement of material flows inside and outside its borders. In the Strategy 2030 of the Republic of Tatarstan, the spatial model of the Kazan urban agglomeration is formulated as follows: the leading role of Kazan as a scientific, educational, innovative, and financial center is consolidated by radial connections of the main highways and developed logistics. In this regard, according to the authors, the logistical approach to the study of urban agglomeration development becomes relevant, and in general, the role and importance of urban agglomeration become important for the purposes of its long-term development.
Key words: logistics system, urban agglomeration, logistics infrastructure, transport infrastructure, distribution logistics centers.
