The development of territories is one of the key problems of the regional economy. Public authorities are developing projects, making changes to existing laws regarding the system of local self-government, thereby optimizing the work of local self-government bodies. The unification of municipalities is one of the most effective methods for optimizing the work of local self-government bodies. All these actions are aimed at creating a unified effective system of local self-government. One of the tools for solving these problems is inter-municipal cooperation. In this article, it is considered a way to ensure the socio-economic development of the region. The aim of the study is to estimate the number of municipalities and analyze the impact of inter-municipal cooperation on their development. As tasks to achieve the goal, it is necessary to allocate: 1) identification of key problems of municipal formations based on the analysis of their quantitative indicator from 2006 to 2022; 2) on the basis of domestic practices of application of inter-municipal cooperation to identify the main directions of development of inter-municipal cooperation in the Russian Federation, as well as barriers preventing this process. The article discusses theoretical issues of inter-municipal cooperation, development prospects, problems of implementation in the Russian Federation, projects for the implementation of inter-municipal cooperation.
