The relevance of development, introduction and implementation analysis of the new software in the production and financial field of a large urban enterprise in the Ural Federal District, providing water supply and wastewater disposal of the “Ekaterinburg city” municipal entity is justified by the need to expand the existing range of software products with the aim, on the one hand, to increase extrabudgetary resources and on the other hand, to comply with the current legislation. The search for the similar solutions to address the problem has not produced results, as in terms of scale, the enterprise can not be classified as a major national wastewater disposal company (Moscow, St. Petersburg), which could afford the introduction of expensive unique information systems. Also, the unconventional simple solutions would not be efficient to process the required information flow of the “Vodokanal” the Ekaterinburg Municipal Unitary Enterprise. The research analysis has been conducted using the methods of document analysis, data integration, benchmarking, constructive compliance, mathematical and software modeling. The creation and implementation of a new software product has been based on the project management technology using the available hardware and software systems. The researchers’ conclusions are based on the results of the financial and economic activities of the whole enterprise, statistical data on the new software product application. However, two main problems have been identified as part of the software product introduction: 1) by the time the new software product was introduced at the enterprise, the business process to make calculations and to produce shipping documents for charging fees for the wastewater and pollutants disposal into centralized sewerage systems was not specified, and the settlement scheme was not actually planned; 2) at different stages of the company growth and development, relevant software products were introduced. In the conditions of these products number increase and lack of integration, the obtained data was of different quality.

The article studies the use of project management technologies in educational training of specialists in the municipal field of culture of a large city in the Urals Federal District. The authors’ main task is to reveal the specific features of using project management technologies in a municipal university. According to the best national and international practice, the efficient training mechanism for the creative, independent thinkers generating constructive ideas, making decisions and pursuing the goals is the practice-oriented project-based learning involving regular projects of various complexity. Analysis of both Russian and international literature demonstrates that design objects in training are heterogeneous, variously subject-oriented and levelled. The research used such methods as document analysis, data integration, benchmarking, constructive matching and case-methods. The researchers ‘findings are also based on expert survey of leading cultural figures of a large city of the Ural and students of a municipal university. Results and scientific novelty: the research revealed that the management project practice, being the implementation of the locally connected projects based on network partnership and the principles of comprehensiveness, connectedness and complementarity, is the mechanism of sustainable reproduction of managers and those in the field of culture. The method of project training based on the regular fulfillment of management projects of increasing complexity by students is used to achieve a new level and quality of training in the field of art and culture and to develop competencies of international level.

The relevance of the research stems from the fact that the welldeveloped urban creative space can improve the urban social environment and make the city more attractive to residents and potential investors, including residents and non-residents of the territory. At the same time, the creative space development should be enshrined in the socio-economic development strategy, which is a complicated institutional process. The following methods have been used in the research: analysis, modeling, comparison, generalization, planning, design; observation, document analysis, expert interviews, mathematical and graphical processing of results. The practical significance of this project is in the development and implementation of a particular socio-cultural product, which will enable both state-funded institutions and small businesses to expand the range of services. Project justification of this product can be useful for other institutions of culture to hold similar events on their basis in order to attract new visitors and expand the range of activities. The scientific novelty of the research involves the development of strategic planning correlation with projects implemented in the municipality, in the institutional area of a modern city, which improves the quality of strategic planning at the municipal level.

The relevance of the development of this work (the project) is due, on the one hand, to the need to expand the range of services offered by the municipal organization, to increase extra-budgetary funds, on the other, to build intercultural and interpersonal interaction within the framework of joint creative activity, which inevitably affects the growth of social harmony, development of social sphere, the investment attractiveness of the territory as a whole. The problem of research: how to organize a multicultural, vocal and dance festival that meets the needs of the target audience and draws attention to the activities of the municipal cultural institution, on the basis of which it is conducted. During the development of the project, the following methods were used: theoretical analysis, modeling, comparison, generalization, planning, design; empirical observation, document analysis, expert interview, mathematical and graphical processing of results. The practical importance of this project is to develop and hold a festival of Korean popular culture on the basis of Central Committee "Ural", which will expand the range of cultural events held in this institution, attract additional visitors and serve as an advertisement for the municipal cultural institution. The project rationale for this festival can be useful to other cultural institutions for conducting similar events on their basis in order to attract new visitors and expand the range of activities. As part of the implementation of the work, it was possible to organize, justify and conduct a project of the Korean popular culture festival "K-STAR" on the basis of the МАУК of the Central Committee "Ural" using socio-cultural design technologies. The results achieved in the course of the project implementation coincide with those outlined: it was possible to draw attention to the variety of cultural events organized by the Central Committee of the Urals, to increase the number of visitors to this institution; to acquaint the townspeople with the "k-pop" direction, to contribute to the development of the creative thinking of the participants in the process of preparing the contest numbers and to create the optimal conditions for the exchange of creative experience among people who are keen on the modern popular culture of South Korea.
