Abstract: We consider the basic properties of the dynamics of the 23-rd cycle of solar activity and a role of complexes of activity (CA) and complexes of active regions (CAR) in its development. It is suggested that the development of solar activity occurs independently in the northern and southern hemispheres in which «latitude» zones of the CA and CAR formation are generated. The most powerful displays of the flare activity are realized with the formation of «longitude» CA reconnecting the activity centers of northern and southern hemispheres. The basic periods of formation of the activity centers for various phases of a solar cycle are determined. Spatial characteristics of the CA and CAR are derived with the use of daily and monthly average values for the Wolf numbers, areas of sunspot groups and flare index.
