Abstract

Big cities are the centers of social life and its concentration. There are many cities with such characteristics on the territory of the United States and Canada, and the level of urbanization in the United States, as in Canada, is quite high. At the same time, there are significant differences in the federal structure, the characteristics of the settlement of the citizens of these countries, economic indicators, which determines a certain scientific interest.

The author's vision of the concept of «urbanization» is proposed. In our understanding, this is a triune («three ones») process, consisting in an increase in the number of cities, an increase in their importance in all spheres of society, with the active introduction of the achievement of urban development in poorly urbanized territories.

Several grounds characterizing political urbanization are highlighted. The definition of the concept of political urbanization is proposed. For its generation, an exploratory study was carried out and an expert survey was conducted among teachers of leading Russian universities and scientific institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In the first author's approximation, these are the processes of concentration of political power in big cities with a simultaneous increase in the influence of the political power of such cities in the system of state power. They are determined by the formation of a new urban political identity due to the generation of a specific urban political culture and a special urban political elite as a result of urban political and economic development.

The methodological foundations of the study of political urbanization are substantiated. To develop such grounds, several documents of international institutions on sustainable urban development were analyzed. A methodological matrix for determining the characteristics of political urbanization has been formed. On the basis of the methodological foundations of the study of political urbanization, a characteristic of political urbanization in the United States and Canada is given.

The article resulted in conclusions presented in the form of a comparative table of political urbanization in the USA and Canada.
