Abstract. The article discusses the prerequisites for the appearance, the main stages of preparation, the content points, features and results of the implementation of the Strategic Plan of St. Petersburg, adopted in December 1997. Much attention is paid to the peculiarities of work on the Strategic Plan of St. Petersburg, first of all, the first successful experience in communicative planning based on ownership in Russia. The characteristic features of the preparation and the implementation of the Strategic Plan are considered in the context of social and economic situation of St. Petersburg in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In describing the main milestones in the preparation of the Strategic Plan, the authors pay a special attention to the use of a positive foreign experience in planning and organizing a team work of the representatives of government structures, public organizations, business, scientific and expert communities. The authors emphasize that such team work did not result in the adoption of the Strategic Plan but was continued in the course of its implementation. The use of this approach played a decisive role in the fact that most of the measures of the Strategic Plan were implemented. The authors draw conclusions on the significance of the experience in the preparation and the implementation of the Strategic Plan for the formation of a strategic planning system not only in St. Petersburg but in the country as a whole. The methodology developed and tested in practice in St. Petersburg laid the foundation for the subsequent organizational and legal harmonization of strategic planning activities throughout Russia, the most important of which was the adoption of the Federal Law No. 172-FZ of June 28, 2014 “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation”.
Key words: strategy, planning, development, Saint-Petersburg, preparation, implementation, goals, priorities, totals, results.
