Public administration of a modern city is the main point in determining the formation vector of the national country and law. The implementation of state and urban governance has common patterns based on the history of the formation and development of state and legal institutions. This, in turn, allows for a fresh look at the understanding of the concept of regional policy and public administration.
The public administration issues of a modern city are controversial in the legal literature. In this article, the author examines the public administration of a modern city, analyzes its legal nature and place in the system of state and municipal government, and offers the author’s vision of understanding the public administration of a modern city. In the present research, the author examines public administration using the example of Russian cities and also studies features of a city as a concept itself, these features are not exclusive for the Russian legal system.
Analyzing regulatory documents, as well as domestic literature, we can conclude that public administration is considered in two aspects, as an activity and as a legal relationship. According to the author, the public administration of a modern city should be considered as a set of actions by state and local authorities, self-government bodies and their officials to ensure the life of the city’s residents with the aim of its sustainable development. Legal regulation of public urban management in Russian legislation occurs indirectly through the regulation of implementation of local self-government.
It is concluded that the definition of specific goals and objectives of Russian cities public administration affects their socio-economic development, however, at present, the Russian legislator has not defined the goals and objectives of urban management, and insufficient attention is paid to the strategic development of modern cities in Russia.
The research methodology is based on the dialectical method, which made it possible to determine the public administration features of a modern city and its place in the system of state and municipal administration. The use of the comparative (comparative legal) method helped to identify the distinctive features that characterize the public administration of a modern city. With the help of historical and prognostic methods, the generality of the implementation laws of state and city government was substantiated and proved. The use of the formal legal method made it possible to study public urban governance separately from other legal activities.
