clear travel pouch kmart

Honest, this clear $8 Kmart travel bag will make your next flight infinitely more comfy.

Flying anywhere when you’re not in first class isn’t the most comfortable way to spend two to 15 hours.

Limited leg room. Pants falling down and/or riding up. Bra sticking into back fat. Cold feet. Smells. Yeah… not so fun.

But one of the most infuriating things about flying has to be when you need something – say, a lip balm or your headphones – only to realise they’re out of reach.

It’s awkward. You’ve got to do the whole leaning over the person next to you’s feet to reach your bag under the seat. Or worse, tap the mate sleeping next to you on the shoulder and ask them to get up so you can get something very important out of the overhead compartment.

Check out the quick video below for some genius travel hacks to make your next flight more comfy. Post continues after video.

This is why there’s a very strong argument for packing one of these clear cosmetics bags on your next flight.

The premise is simple. To minimise in-flight discomfort and maximise leg room, pop your essential items in one of these mini clear bags. This includes all the little random bits you might like to reach for in the air, like: headphones, tissues, mints, toothbrush, lip balm, earplugs, eye mask, hair ties, antibacterial wipes, so on and so forth.

Then, throw your bigger carry on bag in the overhead compartment, and you and your legs are ready to fly.

You can then wedge this little bag in a comfy spot in and around your person (under the arm or down the side of your seat works well), giving you more space to stretch out without having to worry about grabbing something from your inevitably jam-packed and completely confused carry on bag.

Now sure, you could use any cosmetics bag, but a clear one is not only on-trend and shows off your skincare products, but will also get through customs if you’re flying overseas.

One of the women in our Mamamia  You Beauty Facebook group (come join us, it’s a blast) found this very handy, very cheap set of three clear vinyl travel bags from Kmart for $8 . The two smaller bags would be great candidates for this coveted essential items carry on bag, while the larger one can house your larger skincare bottles and cosmetics.

We also found some other great options you can buy online:

• The Target Mouv Trio Cosmetic Bags Set in Black or Rose Gold , $15.
• The BIG W Boe Beauty Trio Travel Set , $10.
• The Alink Clear Travel Toiletry Bag , $10.99.
• The SYSY 3pcs TSA-Approved Travel Toiletry Bag Set , $15.99.
• The Daily Edited Clear Travel Case , $99.95.

Hi, I'm olivia

Creative, entrepreneur, mother, speaker. I thrive on learning, growing and sharing my journey in the hopes to inspire others to live independently, confidently and courageously.

home & LIFE

freebies for dream makers

Being in control of your finances gives you more freedom to do more of the things you want to do it your life. that's why i have created a bunch of free resources to help you to get in control and live a life on your terms , grab the freebies, about olivia, 7 essential kmart items you need on every holiday (each less than $10), september 17, 2019, packing cubes.

These have honestly been life-changing. I started using packing cubes around 2 years ago on our New Zealand Trip.

Because I usually use one extra-large suitcase for myself and the girls, it’s much easier to keep everything sorted and separate with cubes,

I searched around a lot, including eBay and more exxy travel luggage places but in a pinch I ended up with the Kmart ones, always intending to get better ones down the track.

Well, two years on and they’re still going strong. They seem flimsy AF and I never expected them to last. But they did!

There are a few different options but I have the three sized rectangles, only $7.50 a pack. They also come in a few colours – find them here .

Kids Over-Ear Headphones

If you have little ones, these are the best headphones. We have used ours for over 3 years now and they’re so handy, especially on the plane!

They have stood the test of time on many flights, being thrown around and shoved in bags.

Just be careful if plugging into a phone as you may need an adapter for newer iPhones and Android.

Find them here for $10.

Personal First Aid Kit

I don’t think there has been a trip where this has not come in handy. Be it a bandaid for a blister or even just a safety pin for a broken zip.

I just use the same kit and have replenished the items I needed to when I got home.

There are actually a few sizes available at Kmart but I have the 62 pieces, only $10!

Neck Pillow

I actually find these things so annoying and a pain to store. But once you are on a plane, especially with kids, they come in super handy!

Especially on a long haul flight, they can be the difference between swearing off flying ever again and only mildly hating the flight – lol.

I like these ones from Kmart because they have a hook AND clip together, so they can easily be clipped onto bags and handles quickly.

I always just bring it as a ‘just in case; because buying them at the airport always costs a bomb.

You can find different colours here , only $7.50.

Clear Travel Toiletries Bag

I got this one on my most recent trip to the USA as now you must have your carry on liquids in a clear bag for customs.

It also really does make it a lot easier because you can see everything and it’s not lost at the bottom of your bag!

These cute bags are only $8 for the set of three from Kmart .

Stackable Travel Jars

Another lesson I learnt on my USA trip. Put your creams and liquids that are over 100m in small containers so you don’t get it confiscated. It also means it takes up WAY less room in your toiletries bag.

These ones are the bomb. Find them here for $3 .

Travel Hairdryer

You won’t be creating any epic blow waves with it, but it’s super handy when you find yourself in the accommodation without a hairdryer.

Not to mention some handy mum hacks.

I’ve used it to dry clothes, get creases out of crinkled clothes squashed in my bag and dry wet shoes from a day in the rain.

This one has a foldable handle and is only $10 from Kmart .

Travel + Leisure

Hitting the road soon? A toiletry bag is an on-the-go essential, and if you’re flying with a carry-on only, you may be left scrambling with a quart-sized plastic one that can tear before you even reach your destination. When vetting the best clear makeup bags, we took into account features such as durability, function, style, and cost. Whether you travel a little or a lot, the best clear makeup and toiletry bags will be able to fit most, if not all, of your bathroom and makeup essentials and withstand the wear and tear that travel can impart.

The EzPacking Store’s TSA-approved 3-1-1 Travel Toiletry Bag came in as our best overall since it’s durable, spacious enough to fit ten 3.4-ounce containers, and takes the guesswork out of choosing the right-sized bag. Looking for something with reusable containers included? Maybe you’d rather have something a bit more stylish, or sturdy enough to survive weekly trips? We’ve got you covered with our top picks. Here are the best clear travel makeup bags to buy to keep your liquids, creams, and pastes in one place on the go.

Best Overall

Ezpacking store travel toiletry bag.

It’s TSA-compliant and big enough to fit up to ten travel-size containers. 

It’s just one main compartment with no organization options.

This spacious TSA-approved travel makeup bag takes the guesswork out of choosing liquids that will pass through the security screening point. We appreciate the fact that it has enough room to fit up to ten 3.4-ounce travel containers, so you don’t have to make sacrifices to bring the basics with you. It’s clear on five out of six sides, making it easy to find what you’re looking for without too much fishing. While we wonder if we might like the bag better if it had a clamshell design so we’d have two compartments to work with, the zip-around top lid does allow you to take advantage of as much available depth as possible. 

A bottom nylon panel, matching nylon trim lining, and a double-stitched carrying handle are available in 11 bright and bold colors for a pop of personality. Both the nylon and the clear plastic PVC window panels are splash-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about wiping down your shower toiletries before plopping them in the bag. For the price, durability, and color choices, this clear travel makeup bag is a great value.

The Details: PVC plastic, nylon | 6.5 x 6.5 x 2.5 inches

Best Budget

Sephora reusable bag.

It’s sturdy with soft, flexible sides and can be reused several times.

Going through security can be a gamble since the bag isn’t 100 percent clear.

If you’re inclined to just shove your toiletries into a plastic zipper-sealed quart bag to get through security, consider this Sephora travel pouch a worthwhile upgrade. Five bucks will give you a simple, soft, and sturdy pouch to securely store your basic travel-size toiletries or makeup, and you can feel good about saving landfills from single-use plastics since the pouch can be reused over and over. We like that the material is thick but not rigid and that you never have to worry if it’s closed all the way since it has a zipper closure with easy pull tabs. Plus, it’s leak-resistant and can safely hold glass cosmetic jars without concern. One drawback is that it may not get the green light from all security agents because the repeated Sephora text technically stops it from being completely clear. 

The Details: 7.5 x 8.25 inches

Best Customizable

Stoney clover lane travel pouch.

Stoney Clover Lane

It’s a fun way to make your makeup bag your own.

Being overly creative can get costly. 

Want a travel makeup bag that is definitively a little more you than the rest? Stoney Clover Lane’s Travel Pouch offers a gaggle of customization options by mixing, matching, and placing your choice of patches on the side of its standard clear, zippered makeup pouch. Choose from colorful numbers, letters, and seemingly endless patches of cartoon characters, sports teams, and shapes. (Hint: Use the search bar to save time.) Fair warning: customization can get pricey. Prices start at $38 with 14 color options for bag trim, plus a $15 blanket fee for customization and extra cost for each patch. But that’s a small price to pay for a one-of-a-kind makeup bag. Customize at your own risk — security may not appreciate your flare for design as much as the rest of us. 

The Details: Nylon, vinyl, metal | 4.5 x 7.75 x 2 inches

Best Hanging

Tanto hanging toiletry bag.

You can detach a small section to pack in your carry-on.

The main portion of the bag must be packed in checked luggage. 

If you’re the type of traveler that brings everything but the kitchen sink, this four-compartment clear makeup and toiletry bag is a godsend. The two main middle compartments are big enough to fit large items such as styling sprays, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, or full-sized makeup brushes. The top and bottom are two smaller zippered sleeves that are perfect for packing less bulky items like face masks, hair ties, travel makeup brushes, travel-sized containers, or makeup palettes. Because of the size of the main compartments, you’ll need to pack this in your checked luggage when flying, but you can detach the smaller bottom compartment to use as your clear TSA-approved liquids bag. 

The Details: PVC plastic, metal hook | 10.24 x 2.36 x 12.2 inches

Mark And Graham Clear Travel Cosmetic Case

Mark And Graham

It has a sophisticated design and is made with quality materials.

There are only two trim colors to choose from. 

The Mark & Graham Clear Travel Cosmetics Case is a go-to luxury travel makeup bag for travelers who can’t (or won’t) part with their big-bottle toiletries. You’ll get a whopping six inches of depth and 10 inches of length with this bag. We love how the trim only runs across the top and bottom but not the sides, a look that differentiates this bag from so many others that have trim tracing each corner. It’s spendy, but it’s big and made with upgraded materials like thick and durable TPU plastic windows and classy vegan leather trim. You also have the option to add one to three letters of vinyl decal personalization on the side for a flat charge of $12.50. Unfortunately, it’s only available in camel and navy — and the big size falls into the must-check category. 

The Details: TPU plastic, vegan leather | 10 x 6 x 5.5 inches

Morfone Store Travel Bottles Set

It’s a 15-piece set that covers all the essentials. 

The spray bottle tips are known to clog or be faulty.

This travel bottle set is so complete, it makes us feel like we’ve been putting up with less than we deserve for too long. This 25-piece set comes with four soft silicone squeeze bottles in two sizes, two spray bottles, and four screw-top containers in two sizes that can be used for gels, creams, or pills. You’ll also get a mini funnel, two small spoons to help transfer your products into the containers, and a small cleaning brush. Plus, everything fits easily into a TSA-approved clear plastic carrying case. We love that the bottles all come in black-and-white doubles, so it’s easy to keep track of what’s in which container (or to split the set between two people and still know whose is whose instantly). Sometimes, the spray bottles can get clogged, so definitely test them out before filling them with any product. 

The Details: BPA, food-grade silicone; plastic | 6.38 x 5.71 x 2.05 inches

Best with Handles

Wedama tsa approved toiletry bags 2 pack.

It comes with a TSA-compliant bag and a larger bag that can hold regular-sized toiletries. 

The PVC plastic windows can smudge quickly and may require frequent cleaning. 

We like the Wedama TSA-approved Toiletry Bag 2-pack because the handles have extra leeway, making them easy to grip and hold onto. You can even use the handles to hang them. This set comes with two bags: a larger bag big enough to fit most standard, regular-sized toiletry bottles and makeup brushes, and a smaller bag that complies with the TSA 3-1–1 rules for liquids. You’ll have to pack the larger bag in your checked luggage, but the smaller one is fine to go with you through security (just make sure the containers inside follow TSA guidelines, too). Plastic PVC windows on the top and bottom easily allow you to find what you need, but they also smudge easily and need to be wiped down. 

The Details: PVC plastic, waterproof fabric | 7.8 x 2.4 x 5.9 inches for medium, 10.8 x 3.6 x 7.6 inches for large

Best Splurge

Calpak small clear cosmetics case.

The design details really make it stand out.

Loading it up via the U-shaped interior zippers can feel a little weird at first. 

This Calpak Mini Clear Cosmetics Case is spendy, but if you’ve got the budget or travel frequently, it’s not likely to disappoint. It’s a TSA-compliant size with two zippered compartments separated in a clamshell design. Fully clear side front and back panels make it easy to spot what you need right away, even if the bag is closed. It’s the small details that make this bag stand out, as does the variety of colors to choose from. We also like the design pop created by the lines of the interior U-shaped loading compartment and how the faux leather accents and trim paired with polished gold metal hardware work to elevate the look. At this price point, we are a little disappointed with the use of PVC plastic windows and plastic zippers. 

The Details: Faux leather, PVC plastic | 8 x 4 x 6 inches

Best Durable

Aveniee makeup bag for women.

Reinforced sides and upgraded materials make this boxy makeup bag more resilient against the wear and tear of travel. 

It’s only available in black, pink, and cream. 

This simple but strong travel makeup bag swaps out flimsier materials for more durable upgrades like PU leather trim, thick vinyl windows, and heavy-duty metal zippers. It’s a top-loading design with a zip-around closure and features a stitched carry handle on one end. We like that the dual-sided large windows make it easy to locate whatever we’re looking for and that the large size is still TSA-compliant while being deep enough to fit standard travel-size containers without feeling overstuffed. The bag’s materials are waterproof, giving us peace of mind against accidental spills or splashes. Plus, keeping it clean is as easy as wiping it down with a damp cloth. We’d love to see this bag available in additional colors or even patterned designs. 

The Details: PU leather, vinyl | 9 x 6.5 x 3 inches

Best Organization

Diyoohomy clear makeup bag double layer.

It’s a versatile two-compartment bag with strap organization that is still TSA-compliant. 

You have to put a little more thought into how you’ll utilize the specific components. 

Finding a clear TSA-compliant makeup bag that also has decent organization features can be tough — things get bulky quickly and run the risk of exceeding TSA limits. Luckily, the Diyoohohmy Double Layer Makeup Bag checks all the boxes, if at a basic level. Instead of a two-sided clamshell design, this bag features two main compartments with zip-around top lids. The main compartment is approximately three inches deep and can hold multiple travel-size bottles and jars, shaving products, or a collection of makeup. Flip it over for access to a shallow side with built-in straps for holding makeup brushes, toothbrushes, razors, or similar items. This design won’t complement everyone’s needs, but it’s a nice option to have. 

The Details: PVC plastic, metal, PU leather | 6.3 x 9 x 3.5 inches

Tips for Buying Clear Travel Makeup Bags

Prioritize durability.

In an effort to save money and lower plastic waste, choose a clear travel makeup case that can be used again and again. If you travel frequently, you’ll also want to make sure you grab a bag that won’t easily tear, rip, or bust at the seams — or your clothes could pay the price.

Pick the right size for your needs

When it comes to packing, space is a hot commodity. Before you purchase your clear travel makeup bag, take a look at what you’re aiming to put inside of it. If you can get away with a smaller bag, why not take up less space? If it looks like you’ll have too many items, think about what you can pack in your checked luggage or see if you can break up the items amongst several different carry-on bags in your party.

Consider organization

It’s harder to find clear travel makeup bags with built-in organization. Many clear makeup bags have a top lid or pouch design with only one compartment or a split clamshell design with two compartments. Take a minute to take stock of what you’re hoping to pack inside your travel makeup bag. Are you going to want to separate any items or containers? Do you mind fishing for smaller items inside of a large, single compartment? Remember to keep the TSA rules in mind as you search — make sure the bag is the right size and is truly see-through. 

A typical quart-sized bag measures 7 inches by 8 inches. 

Any makeup or toiletry items that have the potential to leak should be placed into a clear travel bag when flying. This includes (but is not limited to) lotions, shampoo, conditioner, foundation, facial serum, toner, and usually gels, creams, and pastes. Remember to keep these in containers that hold no more than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters.

We don’t recommend using any clear makeup bags larger than a quart when traveling. While you may get away with it at some airports, others are very strict (we’re looking at you, England). You don’t want to get held up on either side of your travels for something easily avoidable; it’s not worth the risk.

General information

Togliatti (Togliatti) - city in Samara region on the banks of the Volga River, 100 kilometers from Samara and 1000 kilometers from Moscow ( Togliatti on the map of Russia , Togliatti on the map of the Samara region ). Togliatti is not the capital of the region, while it is the largest city that is not the center of a federal subject, i.e. not the capital of a province or republic. The population of the city according to official data is slightly more than 700 thousand people (18th place in the Russian Federation).

As an independent tourist destination, it is practically not interesting, and first of all it is known as an industrial city and the capital of the domestic automotive industry thanks to the Volga Automobile Plant (AvtoVAZ) located here. However, it is a convenient starting point for visiting the Samarskaya Luka National Park and the Zhiguli Nature Reserve. There are also several attractions worth visiting in the city.

The fortress city on the site of the present Togliatti was founded in 1737 and was then named Stavropol, which means "city of the cross". It's hard to believe, but at the beginning of the twentieth century Togliatti had the glory of a therapeutic and climatic resort, there was a well-known kumysolechebnitsa all over the country. However, in the middle of the last century, almost the entire historical part of the city was flooded during the construction of the Zhiguli hydroelectric power station and the creation of the Kuibyshev reservoir for these purposes, and the city was moved to a hill. As a result, there were no historical objects left in Tolyatti, almost all of it was rebuilt in a new place. The result is a very young and comfortable city with wide streets, new houses, developed infrastructure, but almost no history.

Holidays in Togliatti

Togliatti, as an independent tourist destination, is of little interest. This is a well-developed city with good infrastructure and wide roads, but there are very few interesting objects for tourists, and there is no special tourist infrastructure at all. There is not even a tourist area or a pedestrian street where tourists could stroll on summer evenings, as well as any significant monuments of architecture or history. The architecture in the city is too dull, consists of mostly Soviet-built concrete boxes, there are no old buildings at all. During a tourist holiday in Togliatti, you can visit one of the few museums, sunbathe on the city beaches in summer, and, perhaps, that's it. In fairness, it should be said that several local museums are very good and worthy of visiting by tourists even from other cities.

Entertainment in Togliatti is the same as in any major Russian city: cinemas, nightclubs, large shopping centers, there is a theater, philharmonic hall, entertainment parks for children and adults. There is even a diving center that organizes training and diving in the Volga waters, the places of the flooded old town are especially interesting. Sometimes car races are held on the dirt circuit of the KVC, as well as Christmas races on ice in the vicinity of the city. But there is nothing special especially for tourists from entertainment here, all the entertainment is standard, mainly for local residents. There is not much entertainment for children: there are entertainment parks in shopping malls, a city amusement park (carousels, slides, a summer children's water park, etc.), a cartodrome. In summer there is a mobile zoo, a circus tent.

Weather and tourist seasons in Togliatti

The climate and weather in Tolyatti are the same as in most regions of central Russia: cold winters and hot summers that last only three months. Winters are not very cold here, the temperature rarely drops below -20, but most of the winter stays around -10. The summer months are mostly hot, especially July, when the temperature can reach +30.

By and large, there is no big difference at what time of the year you will go to Togliatti for a tourist stay, since you can see the few museums of the city at any time. However, if you plan to come to Togliatti to visit the Samarskaya Luka National Park, it is best to come in the summer. In addition, if you are here in the summer, you can relax and sunbathe on the local Volga beaches. The bathing season starts in June, although you can sunbathe at the end of May.

Sights of togliatti.

Unfortunately, there are no significant historical or architectural attractions in Togliatti. Tourists can visit several museums here, including a very worthy local history museum, a museum about the history of the city "Heritage", an art and museum of modern art, and a real "pearl" - the technical museum named after him. Sakharov, which is visited even from other regions. In addition to these museums, there are many other small departmental ones operating at enterprises, educational institutions or organizations that work unstable according to a schedule, sometimes they open their doors to visitors only by prior call.

Togliatti is very convenient to use as a starting point for excursions and hikes in Samarskaya Luka National Park and Zhiguli Nature Reserve , because it can be reached from here faster, and it is closer than Samara. Other attractions of the Samara region are also available from Togliatti, but most of them can only be accessed by their own transport. See more about the sights of Togliatti here...

Hotels and accommodation in Togliatti

How to get there

Tolyatti can be reached by plane via Samara Kurumoch Airport, by train, by buses from other cities of the region and neighboring regions. There is a railway station in the city, but it is a dead-end station, so you can only get by train from Moscow and by trailer cars from St. Petersburg, in the summer season also from Sochi. Therefore, if you want to get to Tolyatti by train, you should go to Samara or Syzran, and from there to Tolyatti by bus or taxi.

Safety in Togliatti

In the 90s Togliatti became famous throughout the country as one of the criminal capitals. A lot of organized criminal groups staged shootings, and this was not uncommon. Today, nothing like this is happening, the city has become much safer and calmer in terms of organized crime. However, due to the poor economic situation in this monotown, the impoverished population and unemployment, street property crimes such as robberies and robberies often occur in Togliatti, and this happens even during the day. They steal mostly cell phones, rip out wallets and bags. Therefore, be careful, especially at night and in deserted places.

Improvement Of The Development Management Process Of The Samara-Togliatti Agriculture

The relevance of the study of agglomeration processes is due to the fact that today, agglomerations are the most popular forms of territorial organization of settlement. In Russia with its vast territory, spatial factors play a great role in the development of the regions, agglomerations and the country. The development of agglomerations gives the region the opportunity to maintain and increase the competitiveness of the regional economy and further development of domestic consumer market. Agglomerations contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the region due to the accumulation of labour resources, business development and innovative educational environment. The development of the agglomeration also results in an increase in life quality of the population, an increase in the migration attractiveness of the region. In this regard, this article is aimed at studying the process of managing the development of the agglomeration, developing trends for improving the development of the Samara-Togliatti agglomeration. The article identifies 14 components of agglomerations’ development. They are economic and institutional components. Within these components of agglomerations’ development, the trends of the Samara-Togliatti agglomeration are identified, which are associated with the strategy of socio-economic development of the Samara region. The agglomeration development process must be regulated, since independent uncontrolled development can lead to negative consequences. In this regard, the model of management agglomeration system was elaborated taking into account the selected components with the definition of managing and managed subsystems and other elements of the system. Keywords: Agglomeration agglomeration components agglomeration development trends agglomeration development management system model

Problem Statement

The problems of agglomerations’ development are reflected in the works of Russian scientists. In particular, Lappo and Honsch ( 2000 ), in his studies of the history of agglomerations development in Russia, noted that improving the economic structure of Russian cities, laws on environment protection and balanced settlement policy could potentially lead to a general improvement in life quality and economic opportunities.

Loibl, Etminan, Gebetsroither-Geringer, Neumann and Sanchez-Guzman ( 2018 ) see growth as the main driver of urban metropolitan areas. The main reason for the growth is people’s migration to cities, which is caused by people's expectations to find more favourable living conditions.

There is research about the stages of spatial expansion of urban agglomeration ( Fang & Yu, 2017 ); transport routes’ overloading, which can be solved by forming a polycentric agglomeration model based on clusters, including efficient transport infrastructure ( Tokunova, 2017 ) and the development of a model of transport demand ( Yakimov, 2018 ). In addition to public transport, the authors of the articles also determine other directions for agglomerations’ development: urban regulation, housing construction, social sphere development, and labour market ( Popodko, 2017 ).

The issue of agglomerations’ development is also essential foe Chinese scientists who are considering a policy to optimize the development of Chinese urban agglomerations ( He, Zhou, Tang, Fan, & Guo, 2019 ), issues of their sustainable development, design and operational management of agglomeration systems ( Huang et al., 2020 ). There are articles with the research about the problems of agglomerations’ development in Central and Eastern Europe, their main growth factors were foreign investment resources and clusters’ creation ( Starostina, Ustymenko, & Shevchenko, 2017 ). Agglomeration is considered as a centre for regional economic development based on tourism industry, sharing infrastructure, and adapting to climate change ( Rahayu, Haigh, & Amaratunga, 2018 ). Some researchers determine the impact of agglomerations’ development on the population’s standard of living, creating comfortable living conditions, and obtaining high-quality educational, medical, and social services at reasonable prices ( Bershadsky, Nepomnyaschaya, & Shilova, 2012 ).

Thus, the authors will define certain aspects of agglomeration processes: production, labor, cultural, domestic, transport, but there is still no unified integrated structure that takes into account all the components of agglomeration processes. In addition, the methodology for managing socio-economic development of agglomerations in our country isn’t elaborated yet. All of above-mentioned facts indicate the relevance of the research topic.

Research Questions

Taking into account the gap in analysed works of scientists, there are following questions in the research:

What components should be taken into account in the process of managing the agglomeration’s development?

What are the development trends of the Samara-Togliatti agglomeration?

What is the model of agglomeration’s development management system?

Purpose of the Study

The aim of the study is to analyse the current state and to find ways to improve the development management process of the Samara-Togliatti agglomeration.

In accordance with this aim, the research seeks to solve the following main tasks:

Identify the components of agglomeration development management;

Determine the main development trends of the samara-togliatti agglomeration;

Develop a model of agglomeration development management system.

The object of research is the Samara-Togliatti agglomeration. The subject of the research is organizational and economic relations in the process of managing the development of the Samara-Togliatti agglomeration.

The materials of the article are of practical value for programs’ elaboration of socio-economic development at the regional and municipal levels, as well as the development strategy of the city of Samara and the Samara region.

The novelty of the research is the following:

The components of agglomeration development management are determined;

For each component, the development trends of STA are identified;

The model for an agglomeration development management system was elaborated.
