Government designated the development of cities and urban agglomerations among measures in the field of regional development. In this regard, it should be understood how to evaluate the results of policies for the development of cities and urban agglomerations, what effects can be expected and predicted. The article considers the features of agglomeration development assessment methods. The topic of agglomerations is currently relevant – in the strategic planning documents of Russian regions, agglomerations are increasingly present every year. Federal, regional and municipal authorities speak about their development. The article presents methods for assessing the development of agglomeration in Russia. A hypothesis was put forward that there is no unified methodology for assessing agglomeration growth in Russia. We considered the following methods: the indices used in the research of PricewaterhouseCoopers consulting agency, the Institute for Urban Economics and the urban environment index, created as part of the implementation of the May decree on the strategic development of the Russian Federation until 2024 and the national project Housing and Urban Environment. Based on the results of testing the hypothesis, conclusions are drawn and possible ways to achieve positive changes are considered.
