The subject of the current research is the old industrial monocities and monoproduct regions of the Perm region. The goal is the development of strategic approaches to solving the scientific and practical problem of realizing the prospects of Priority Social and Economic Development Areas, created within the boundaries of mono-product regions. The methodology of work is based on N.D. Kondratiev’s wave theory, G. Mensch’s concept of innovation activity, M. Porter’s concept of clusters, the concept of triple helix, etc. Its basis is the concept of innovative development of old industrial monocities [1]. The research results can assist monoproduct regions in obtaining the Priority Social and Economic Development Area status. Also, the area of application of the results includes
mono-product regions that have already obtained the status in question. The author concludes that application for the status should be preceded by a scientifically sound strategy for the development of mono-product regions, which has received the support of the local population.
