ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of creating a single system for managing innovation in city agglomerations. Here, we will identify current trends of city development in the modern world as subjects of economic activity, as well as reveal the substance of additive management technologies and their roles in knowledge management in city agglomeration. We conducted a cross-subject analysis of the literature on the topic of regulating innovative activity in megalopolises and city agglomerations, paying particular attention to additive managerial technologies of managing knowledge and innovation in large-city agglomerations and megalopolises. We define the concept of additive managerial technologies in the city policy of a megalopolis and/or city agglomeration. We also study the different forms of public administration in municipal entities in city agglomeration at the regional level. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the regional-level legislation regulates city agglomerations, notwithstanding the constitutional differentiation between the state and regional levels. The systems of managing city agglomerations, which emerged without prior arrangement, are similar to the precedents of analogous behavior of city administration bodies in some industrially developed countries. Collisions in the system of legal regulation of the development of city agglomerations are revealed. We also propose that based on the knowledge of trends in forming the system of management of city agglomeration and similarity of models of the regulation of agglomerations with Tokyo experience, it is possible to implement additive managerial technologies to regulate the development of a single system knowledge management in city agglomeration. Finally, we prove that additive management technologies help to envision the trends of the future knowledge management strategy.
