Introduction

The present subject is important because of the necessity to outline a new strategy of economic growth and regional sustainable development in the Russian Federation. Discussions about ways of economic growth achievement are carried out in modern Russian economic science and it is possible to say that one of the serious research directions is a reindustrialization concept. Reindustrialization usually is understood as industrialization based on the latest technological advancements. The prospective purpose of a reindustrializtion is the transition to modern technological ways. So a question of main purposes and mechanisms and the industrial policy’s objects (including meso-level) determination becomes sharply important. For the decision of this task, in our opinion, it is necessary to study the industrial regions’ entity, the features and factors of their development, in order to reveal criteria and indicators for selection of industrial regions. Similar research is necessary when planning industrial regional policy. Besides, the research of industrial regions, specifics of their development, and also problems that these regions face, is necessary for outlining their sustainable development from the ecological point of view. Environmental problems are most seriously expressed in industrial regions. So it is necessary to consider the ecological limitations while planning an industrial policy in these regions.
