One of the innovations of 2010 is the idea of delegating some part of authority and responsibility for the implementation of the national policy to the administrative bodies of the largest cities. Being in the epicenter of interethnic interactions, emergence and resolution of interethnic contradictions and conflicts, they have the best opportunities for monitoring and monitoring the situation. The implementation of this idea set the task for the city administrations to develop their own strategies for regulating interethnic relations, maintaining peace and harmony in the society, which would be simultaneously coordinated with the National Strategy of the country and would respond to the specifics of local realities. The article discusses the effectiveness of Urban Development Strategies in the area of regulation of interethnic relations. The comparative analysis of target regional and municipal programs for maintaining interethnic harmony in the cities of Perm, Ufa and Rostov-on-Don was conducted; the evolution of those programs has been considered since the 1990s.
