The research purpose is to work out practical recommendations for local authorities on implementing national programs of introducing innovations into the urban environment, which is essential to underpin the Perm urban agglomeration development as a completely new, innovative municipal entity. This will advance the development of the urban territory and the adjacent area of 15-25 kilometers around the regional capital. In this case, the efficiency of innovations will be seen in the urban area and beyond. The observation method used in the research provided the framework to identify goals to be achieved, phenomena and processes to be the growth zones in the innovative development of the urban environment. The author stressed the urgent need for city sites where business representatives could offer their innovative digital services and urban environment products to local authorities. Based on the analysis, the need to improve the quality of the urban environment was revealed, which means creating conditions for involving citizens into a comfortable and sustainable urban life (social wellbeing; economic opportunities; ecological quality). The article proposes a way of unclogging the highway from the city center to the airport through building a parallel monorail highway for unmanned overhead transport and a cableway with modern comfortable cabins across the Kama river (parallel to the communal bridge). The conclusions drawn in the article provide for the idea that first and formost, city dwellers, need to feel the shift in the existing problems in housing sector: redevelopment; high-quality major repairs; roadway replacement with innovative materials using new technologies (including drives-through); street cleaning, hands-off garbage sorting and collection.

E.V. Rozhokov
The purpose of the article is to identify the need of choosing the more sophisticated economic approaches when forming the digital profile of the region, which is important for revealing the essence of the institutional trap; determining patterns when developing the digital profile of the federal subject. This will contribute to the theoretical and methodological relevance of the work.
The methodological approach used in the research involves the following steps in the digitalization process: digitizing a priori indicators and converting them to a unified measurement scale, also bringing the values of a priori indicators into the unified form which have digital values in various measurement units based on standard values, as well as questionnaire development and expert survey conducting to establish the digital value of indicators having no digital measurement and, if necessary, reducing the number of a priori statistical indicators based on statistical and probabilistic methods of analysing relationships strength.
It is demonstrated that the Perm Territory has a high level of digital profile in the Russian Federation. But importantly, the digitalization of the general image of the region should not be separated from the digitalization of individual municipalities.
The low level of these issues elaboration predetermined the relevance, practical significance of the problem and the objectives outlined by the author in the article. The given article identified the need to solve the following problem: to reveal the problems of property management as of modern economic process and to analyze the role of property digitalization at the current stage.
The conclusions presented in the article explain the need to create new trades in the IT industry; ensure state-funded places in higher education institutions, which provide training for new IT specialties and allocate federal funds for the small towns digitalization.

RESEARCHING THE POST-INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS (EXEMPLIFIED BY A MUNICIPAL ENTITY)
E.V. Rozhkov
The purpose of the given article is to identify the consistency of economic theories applied in the last and this century. The author has studied the theory of post-industrial society, in particular, which ideas are being introduced into the economic processes of the Perm city municipal enity. The scientists' conclusion is provided that it is only possible to talk about the developed post-industrial society when a fundamentally higher standard of living and relations between people is achieved as compared to the previous state. It is revealed that, in the ordinary people's opinion, billionaires do not care about industrial development, their main goal is profit. But the author offers cases when the example of only one city makes it clear that the business leaders can act differently, in particular, invest in economy and society under difficult current conditions. Modern conditions are those when economy has to develop, the conditions for information technologies implementation - digital economy development.
Digital economy as part of the Strategy of the Information Society Development in the Russian Federation until 2030 is percieved as economic activity with digital data as a key manufacturing factor. The example of Perm city shows that all the approved digitalization programs were approved up to 2022, and according to the 2020 official rating of the RF Ministry of Construction, data are presented by the “Smart City” national program indicators ensuring the municipality's sixth place out of fifteen largest cities in Russia. Successful examples are presented of private Perm technoparks, which can introduce such technologies as artificial intelligence, unmanned transport systems, biotechnology and others into urban environment. All this should be based on modern management practices of city planning (digital strategic master-plan development for the city of Perm, new transport systems construction, etc.).
According to the research results the current processes of society digitalization are based on the theory of post-industrial society development, which characterizes the interest of business and government authorities to introduce changes into the life of the municipality where they live and work.
