The influence of geoeconomic factors in the spatial pattern of St. Petersburg’s coastal area is analyzed in this paper on a global level taking into account the integration of St. Petersburg and its surroundings into global value-added chains and transportation and logistic schemes; on a macroregional level taking into account the development of the leading port and industrial complexes in the Baltic Sea and the expansion of pipeline projects; an on a local level taking into account the emergence of transborder clusters, etc. With allowance for the spatial parameters, the boundaries of St. Petersburg’s coastal area are determined; they include the city of St. Petersburg, as well as some municipal districts of Leningrad, Novgorod, and Pskov oblasts, and the Republic of Karelia, in total 37 administrative units with a population of about 7.5 mln people and an area of 110500 km2.
