Spatial development of the national economy is one of the priorities of state strategic management. Development and implementation of the spatial development strategy plays systemically important role in strategic and territorial planning and defines the sequence and directions of the systemic spatial development. An integral assessment of economic, social and spatial development of eight Russian Federation territories is presented in the paper on the basis of twenty statistical indicators. Social and economic development indicators which can be used to implement two alternative scenarios of spatial development have been acquired during calculations and presented as a matrix. It has been concluded that eight federal territories have different combinations of social and economic development which is important to take into account in the strategic spatial planning.
