Patterns of Dynamic Urban Population Growth in Russia, 1989-1996: A Research Report

Abstract

A specialist on urban population dynamics in the former USSR identifies and investigates the most rapidly growing towns and cities, as well as new towns formed in the Russian Federation over the period from 1989 through 1996. Rapidly growing towns are defined as those that grew by at least 10 percent between 1989 and 1996 and at a rate of 1.4 percent annually. The focus is on the geographic distribution, economic functions, and size characteristics of the towns investigated, with comparisons involving the situation prevailing during the previous intercensal period.
