The presented article is devoted to the current problems of the development of metropolitan agglomerations on the example of the Moscow agglomeration using the resources of interregional and inter-municipal cooperation. The Moscow metropolitan agglomeration is the largest in Europe both in terms of territory and in terms of the population living in it. Its modern structure differs from other world metropolitan agglomerations (Paris, London, Tokyo, Mexico City, etc.) in that Moscow, as the center of the agglomeration, takes the initiative of the development center of the entire Moscow megaregion. Its role is that it becomes a driver of economic growth not only for the economies of neighboring regions and municipalities of the Moscow Region, but also for municipalities of neighboring regions bordering the Moscow Region. A new model of interregional and inter-municipal interaction is being formed, significant for the state as a whole: after all, industry, business and labor resources are concentrated here, innovative high-tech products are produced. The article presents a reproductive approach to the development of agglomeration as a form of internal and external interaction of territories. The effects of this form of interaction, which are expressed in the general improvement of the quality of development of all socio-economic processes both in individual territories and in agglomeration as a whole, have been identified: intensification of migration flows both at the level of external migration and at the level of internal migration in administrative-territorial entities, increasing the degree of accessibility of public transport and social services, etc. Together, the identified private effects form a synergistic result of the transformation of a simple set of territories into a complex, interconnected, effectively functioning mechanism. The following methods were used to conduct research: comparative analysis, content analysis, graphic, system approach.
