Researchers have claimed that cross-sectoral partnership is a growing mechanism to allocate resources more effectively and to benefit at most from the potential of the state, private sector and civil society. This research is aimed to determine how intersectoral collaboration effects sustainable development of the cities. The main research question is whether more intense partnership between the state, businesses and non-profit organizations causes positive or negative influence on cities, and their sustainability. The analysis is based on theoretical international framework, and empirical qualitative research through the example or the case of Tula. The results indicate that intersectoral partnership is indeed positively influencing sustainable development of the city, and on that basis, a set of recommendations for local stakeholders willing to create and develop cross-sectoral projects is prepared.
