The purpose of this study is to develop an author's approach to the concept of a balanced spatial region in relation to the northern and Arctic territories. Based on the analysis of specific features, the article concretizes the concept of balanced spatial development of the northern and Arctic regions as a process and result of spatial transformation of territories, ensuring the coordinated and proportional development of their economic, social, environmental and infrastructural components, taking into account extreme climatic conditions, resource dependence, settlement and limited accessibility, as well as with mandatory integration of interests. local communities, the state, and corporate structures. The practical significance of the scientific result obtained lies in the fact that, based on the author's approach, it is possible to assess the compliance of strategic documents with the principle of balanced development. By analyzing the provisions of the Strategy for the Socio-economic Development of the Northern and Arctic Territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory until 2035, contradictions between economic and environmental components, as well as between economic goals and infrastructure policy, have been identified. The obtained conclusions can serve as a methodological basis for adjusting the spatial development strategies of the northern and Arctic territories of Russia in order to ensure a balanced spatial development of the territories in the long term.
