Современные тенденции развития Иркутской области и города Иркутска

позволяют говорить об изменении их роли в региональной и национальной экономике.

Долгое время Иркутск воспринимался в Европейской России как удаленный от центра

провинциальный город, в котором концентрировались научные и промышленные

производства и связанные с ними сферы деятельности. Однако на протяжении последнего

десятилетия наиболее интенсивно развиваются сферы деятельности, которые исполняют

коммуникативные и обслуживающие функции: образование, банковско-финансовые

учреждения и страховые компании, телевидение и телекоммуникации, печатные средства

массовой информации, реклама, продюсерские, торговые, посреднические и

снабженческо-сбытовые организации, индустрия досуга, отдыха и развлечений,

гостиничное дело, производство «ноу-хау», перевозки всеми видами транспорта,

складское хозяйство и т.д. [1].
