Particular attention is paid to the processes of reindustrialization of cities, which were initiated by the economic and sanitary crisis of 2020. The aim of the study is to determine the role of urban agglomerations in the industry territorial organization transformation. The article analyses evolution of ideas about the role of cities in territorial and spatial development; determines the stages of de-industrialization and the reasons for the initiation of the re-industrialization processes; identifies development plans in conjunction with the territorial organization of industry in the context of conflicting processes of localization and the global economy. Since the beginning of 1990s in the Russian Federation an attempt has been made to transform single-industry regions and to find new instruments for overcoming problems of developing old industrial regions where elements of industrial mode. It is conditioned by the fact that quality changes of sources for macroeconomic dynamics as a result of integrating information and communication resources and transformation of competitive advantages and sectoral economics have led to changes of monocities role and their influence on socio-economic development. It is concluded that it is necessary to use a systematic approach to studying the role of cities in socio-economic development, as well as the expediency of applying the principles of the spatial paradigm to understand the essence of urbanization processes as a multi-aspect phenomenon.
